What's inside

The toolkit contains 30 interview questions in six categories, with five questions each, plus guidance on how to use them.

  • Icebreakers and general background: e.g. "What attracted you to this role and our company?" and "How does this role align with your long-term career goals?"
  • Role-specific skills and knowledge: e.g. "Tell us about a time you had to learn a new skill quickly for your job."
  • Problem-solving and critical thinking: e.g. "How do you approach prioritizing multiple tasks under tight deadlines?" and "Have you ever made a mistake at work? How did you handle it?"
  • Teamwork and collaboration: e.g. "How do you handle conflicts with coworkers or team members?"
  • Leadership and initiative: e.g. "Can you describe a situation where you took initiative without being asked?" and "How do you approach delegating tasks?"
  • Cultural fit and company values: e.g. "What kind of work environment helps you thrive?" and "What do diversity, equity, and inclusion mean to you in a professional setting?"

How to use the questions

  • Customize for the role: not every question fits every position; pick the most relevant ones per category.
  • Structure the interview: for example, open with icebreakers, move to role-specific skills and close with cultural fit.
  • Adapt to the candidate: focus on learning potential for entry-level roles and on leadership and problem-solving for senior roles.
  • Keep it conversational: treat the list as a guide, not a script, and ask follow-up questions.
  • Pro tip: pair the questions with a structured rating system so you can evaluate all candidates consistently and fairly.
