Interview Toolkit for a Key Role

We are seeking a volunteer with experience in recruiting or HR management to help us design a structured, skills-first interview process for one open role.

Our goal is to move beyond credential-based screening questions and build an interview approach that helps us assess candidates based on their skills, behaviors, and decision-making in real-world situations. This will help us identify strong candidates who are well-equipped to contribute to our work.

The volunteer will work with our team to: help us hire a chief of staff.

- Review our current job description and interview materials for one role
- Identify 4-6 core responsibilities and the skills needed for success
- Develop behavioral and situational interview questions aligned to those responsibilities
- Create realistic workplace scenarios to assess how candidates think and respond
- Develop follow-up questions to evaluate depth, judgment, and proficiency
- Build a simple, consistent interview scorecard to support fair, skills-based evaluation across candidates

Final deliverable: A ready-to-use interview toolkit for one role, including structured interview questions, job scenarios, a scorecard, and brief written guidance our team can use to run consistent, skills-first interviews going forward.
