Generate Tailored Interview Questions

Follow these steps to generate interview questions by matching a job description against a consultant resume.

Step 1: Load Context

1. •Read .claude/feedback/patterns.md for proven patterns and anti-patterns.
2. •Read marketing/brand/style-guide.md for voice and tone guidance.

Step 2: Get Input Documents

Ask the user for:

1. •Job Description — File path or pasted text describing the role requirements
2. •Resume — File path or pasted text of the candidate's resume

Read both documents. If file paths are provided, read the files. Use Glob to search recruiting/resumes/ if the user provides only a consultant name.

Step 3: Analyze Skill Gaps and Matches

Compare the job description requirements against the resume:

• •Strong Matches — Skills, experience, and certifications that directly align
• •Partial Matches — Related but not exact experience (e.g., similar EHR system, adjacent domain)
• •Gaps — Required skills or experience not evident in the resume
• •Bonus Qualifications — Resume strengths that exceed JD requirements

Calculate an overall Match Score: Strong / Moderate / Weak based on the ratio of matches to requirements.

Step 4: Generate Interview Questions

Generate questions for four interview stages:

Stage 1: Screen (Recruiter / HR)

Focus on culture fit, availability, salary expectations, and logistics.

• •3-4 culture fit questions aligned with PPC values
• •Availability and start date
• •Salary/rate expectations
• •Relocation or travel willingness
• •Right-to-work confirmation

Stage 2: Basic / 1st Round (Hiring Manager)

Focus on behavioral STAR questions, role motivation, and team dynamics.

• •4-5 behavioral questions using STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
• •2-3 questions about motivation for the role
• •2-3 questions about team dynamics and collaboration
• •Questions should probe areas identified as partial matches or gaps

Stage 3: Technical / 2nd Round (Technical Lead / SME)

Focus on domain-specific technical knowledge, scenario-based problems, and tool proficiency.

• •4-6 domain-specific technical questions based on JD requirements
• •2-3 scenario-based problems ("How would you handle...")
• •2-3 tool proficiency questions for required systems (Epic, Cerner, ServiceNow, etc.)
• •Questions should specifically probe identified gaps

Stage 4: Client Interview (Client Stakeholder)

Focus on client-facing preparation.

• •3-4 client-specific prep notes and talking points for the consultant
• •2-3 likely client questions with suggested responses
• •Key engagement context the consultant should understand
• •Communication and presentation tips

Step 5: Generate Additional Outputs

• •Risk Areas — Specific concerns based on gaps, with suggested follow-up questions
• •Follow-Up Questions — Deeper probes for each stage based on likely responses
• •Match Score Summary — Overall assessment: Strong / Moderate / Weak with justification

Step 6: Write the File

Write the file to:

recruiting/interview-guides/[consultant-name]-[role-slug].md

Include full YAML frontmatter:

---
title: "Interview Guide — [Consultant Name] for [Role]"
type: interview-guide
status: draft
author: "[PLACEHOLDER]"
created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
consultant-name: "[PLACEHOLDER]"
role: "[PLACEHOLDER]"
match-score: "[strong|moderate|weak]"
next-review: "YYYY-MM-DD"
tags:
  - interview
  - recruiting
---

Use lowercase-hyphens for the filename. Create intermediate directories if needed.

Step 7: Log the Action

Append a JSON line to .claude/feedback/skills-log.jsonl:

{"skill": "match-interview", "file": "<output-path>", "timestamp": "<ISO-8601>", "status": "created", "match-score": "<strong|moderate|weak>"}
