At a glance

Generate a structured interview scorecard and interview guide for any role.

  • Works in 2 steps: [Behavioural STAR question — e.g. "Tell… → [Situational or hypothetical question…
  • Asked to create a hiring rubric
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Structure, Scorecard Overview and Competencies & Scoring, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Hiring Rubric is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Generate a structured interview scorecard and interview guide for any role. Use when asked to create a hiring rubric, interview scorecard, structured interview guide, or assessment criteria for a job. Produces a scorecard with competencies, behavioural questions, and scoring guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a hiring rubric
  • Interview scorecard
  • Structured interview guide
  • Assessment criteria for a job

Example prompts

  • “/hiring-rubric”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. [Behavioural STAR question — e.g. "Tell me about a time you had to make a decision with incomplete data."]
  2. [Situational or hypothetical question for this role]

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hiring Rubric loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hiring Rubric Skill

This skill generates a complete structured interview scorecard and guide for any role. It reduces hiring bias, enables consistent evaluation across interviewers, and produces better hiring decisions.

Not quite this? Use engineering-hiring-rubric when the role is technical and needs scorecards for engineering interviews.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Role title and level (e.g. Senior Product Manager, Junior Data Analyst)
  • Team or function (e.g. Growth, Platform, Customer Success)
  • Top 3–5 things this person needs to do well (the actual job requirements, not just the JD)
  • Interview format (number of rounds, length of each)
  • Any known gaps or risks to probe for (optional)
  • Company values or competencies (optional — if provided, include as a competency section)

Output Structure


Interview Scorecard: [Role Title]

Level: [Junior / Mid / Senior / Staff / Manager] Team: [Team name] Created: [Date]


Scorecard Overview

Each competency is scored 1–4:

  • 4 — Strong Yes: Clear evidence of exceptional ability. Hire signal.
  • 3 — Yes: Solid evidence. Meets the bar for this role.
  • 2 — Lean No: Some evidence but gaps that matter for this role.
  • 1 — No: Little to no evidence. Clear miss.

Hiring recommendation:

  • 3+ competencies at 4, rest at 3 = Strong hire
  • Majority at 3, no 1s = Hire
  • Any 1s or majority 2s = No hire (unless specific mitigating factors)

Competencies & Scoring

For each competency (generate 4–6 based on the role):

Competency [N]: [Name — e.g. "Problem Structuring" / "Stakeholder Influence" / "Technical Depth"]

Why this matters for this role: [One sentence — connects to actual job requirements]

What 4 looks like (Strong Yes): [Specific, observable behaviours. "Proactively decomposed an ambiguous problem into a structured approach without prompting. Could articulate tradeoffs clearly and made assumptions explicit."]

What 2 looks like (Lean No): [Specific, observable behaviours at the lower end. "Could answer direct questions but struggled when the interviewer removed scaffolding. Required significant prompting to reach a structured answer."]

Interview Questions (2–3 per competency):

  1. [Behavioural STAR question — e.g. "Tell me about a time you had to make a decision with incomplete data."]

    • Good answer signals: [What a strong answer includes]
    • Weak answer signals: [What a weak or scripted answer looks like]
    • Follow-up probe: [One follow-up to push deeper]
  2. [Situational or hypothetical question for this role]

    • Good answer signals:
    • Follow-up probe:

Role-Specific Technical Assessment (if applicable)

[If the role requires a technical screen, describe:]

  • Format: [Take-home / Live coding / Case study / Portfolio review]
  • Duration: [Time]
  • What you're assessing: [Specific skills]
  • Scoring guidance: [What distinguishes a 4 from a 2 on the technical component]

Show full SKILL.md (282 more words)Show less

Culture & Values Assessment

[2–3 values-based questions aligned to company values if provided, or general culture fit questions:]

  1. [Question]
    • What you're listening for:

Red Flags to Watch For

[5–7 specific red flags relevant to this role and level:]

  • [e.g. "Speaks only about individual work — no mention of collaboration or team impact"]
  • [e.g. "Can't give a specific example — pivots to hypotheticals when asked for real situations"]
  • [e.g. "For senior roles: no evidence of influencing without authority"]

Interview Panel Guide

Suggest how to divide competencies across interview rounds to avoid repetition:

RoundInterviewerCompetencies to Assess
1 — Recruiter ScreenRecruiterMotivation, career narrative, basics
2 — Hiring Manager[Role][Assign 2 competencies]
3 — Peer Interview[Role][Assign 2 competencies]
4 — Stakeholder[Role][Assign 1–2 competencies + culture]

Quality Checks

  • Scoring descriptions are observable (behaviours, not adjectives)
  • 4 vs 2 distinction is clear and specific
  • Questions have follow-up probes
  • Red flags are specific to this role and level
  • Panel guide avoids competency overlap between rounds

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not include competencies that overlap significantly — each dimension must assess a distinct quality
  • Do not write behavioural questions that can be answered with a yes/no — use "Tell me about a time..." format
  • Do not set a scoring bar without calibration guidance — "above bar" means nothing without concrete examples at each level
  • Do not create a rubric with more than 6 competencies — panel interviews cannot reliably assess more
  • Do not omit a "must-have vs. nice-to-have" distinction in the requirements — all criteria cannot carry equal weight

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Create a hiring rubric for a [role]"
  • "Build an interview scorecard for [job title]"
  • "Give me structured interview questions for a [level] [role]"
  • "We're hiring a [role] — help me build an assessment framework"
