Who this interview question bank is for
This question bank is for hiring managers, small business owners and HR staff who run interviews and want them to be fair and focused. It suits first-time interviewers who are not sure what to ask, busy owners hiring between other tasks, and teams that want every candidate judged the same way. Asking the same core questions makes comparisons honest and helps you choose with confidence.
How to use your interview question bank
Before the interview, pick questions from the question bank that match the role, and add role-specific ones on the custom page. Print a scorecard for each candidate and rate answers as you go, writing short notes on examples they share. After all interviews, place candidates side by side on the compare page so strengths and gaps are easy to see. Record the final decision and reasons on the hiring page, which also helps if you need to explain your choice later.
