Reference Check Question Set
Reference checks
I am reference-checking a candidate for [ROLE]. Here is what concerns me from the interviews: [PASTE CONCERNS]. Give me eight reference questions: two rapport-openers, four that probe my specific concerns without leading the reference, and two that surface who this person is under pressure. For the concern questions, include what an honest answer versus a diplomatic dodge sounds like.
Inputs needed
- #Role
- #Interview concerns
What good output looks like
Concern probes are non-leading, honest-vs-dodge answer contrast, questions get harder as the call progresses.
