Claude: builds the table and drafts, you check

Claude builds the table, then drafts the guide from your checked rows. You pick sources and own the final copy.

  1. You

    Add the sources

  2. Claude

    Build the table

  3. You

    Check each row

  4. Claude

    Draft the guide

  5. You

    Check and finish

  1. Have ready: the approved role brief

    Use: You

    Have the approved role brief ready. Add only the authorised source material to a new Claude workspace.

    Check

    Check the loaded material matches the authorised set.

  2. Build the competency-to-question table

    Use: Claude

    Ask Claude to organise the supplied evidence into a competency-to-question coverage table with source locations and gaps.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Using only the loaded sources, produce organize the supplied evidence into competency-to-question coverage table. Give source document and location for every row, write "not stated" for gaps, never infer protected traits or invent evidence. Source warning to keep: Human interviewers assess evidence; no candidate ranking or hiring recommendation is generated. Also: Preparation only: no autonomous hiring, employee rating, pay or access change, record update, external message, purchase or legal decision. Named humans retain authority.

  3. Check each table row against the sources

    Use: You

    Check every row against the original inputs; ask Claude in the same chat to fix or delete rows and mark gaps.

    Check

    Each row needs a source document and location; gaps stay marked not stated.

  4. Draft the guide from the checked table

    Use: Claude

    In the same workspace, draft the interview guide only from the corrected table and the supplied limits and unresolved questions.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Draft only from the corrected table and supplied limits. Mark the output as draft, keep source references on every line and add an unresolved-question section. Source warning to keep: Human interviewers assess evidence; no candidate ranking or hiring recommendation is generated. Also: Preparation only: no autonomous hiring, employee rating, pay or access change, record update, external message, purchase or legal decision. Named humans retain authority.

  5. Check the draft and prepare the final copy

    Use: You

    Read the draft against the requirements, prepare the final review copy with an issue log and record who approved it. Keep it as preparation only.

    Check

    Check each competency has a job-related question, none asking for protected personal information. Confirm the authorised audience; any employment decision happens separately under human authority.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.
