Interview Playbook Generator
Have you ever made a hiring mistake? Most of us have. Here is an AI to help you.
A key to getting better at hiring decisions is getting better at interviews.
And getting better at interviews means adding structure. Time and time again, research has shown that structured interviews better predict job performance and reduce bias.
Yet almost no one does them. Why?
One barrier is the effort required for job analysis and interview question selection. Big companies are good at this and can afford to be because they recruit many people for similar roles. Smaller company interviewers are often frantically googling "interview questions for X" 10 minutes before an interview.
To level the playing field, I'm open-sourcing an AI to generate a complete 18-page interview playbook based on a job description and a company's values. This is a sample guide generated from a job description for an infrastructure software engineer on the Y Combinator website.

It is incredible to see the quality of the output. <$1 of API calls to produce something that would have taken hours. And, in my tests, it does a better job than most of us could do even if we had the time.
I would have loved this as a founder; I hope you find it useful. In return, I'd ask you for feedback - how could it be improved? Is this something you could use? I'm happy to burn some API calls and generate examples for your current job openings. Hit me up!
Also, kudos to Michael Hideo Smith, who introduced a form of structured interviews called Targeted Selection at TinyMCE and lifted our hiring game.
