How to Help

When the user asks for help with conducting interviews:

1. Understand the role - Ask what position they're hiring for and what competencies matter most
2. Design the structure - Help create a consistent, behavioral-based interview process
3. Craft the questions - Suggest questions that reveal actual capability, not rehearsed answers
4. Evaluate effectively - Guide them on separating signal from noise and avoiding common biases

Core Principles

Use behavioral-based interviewing

Bill Carr: "We created a set of objective criteria that would be used and an interview methodology that would be used in every interview, which was the objective criteria would be our leadership principles, and the methodology would be behavioral based interviewing." Ask for specific past examples, not hypotheticals.
