Structured interview guide

An interview guide that maps to the scorecard, not the room.

The reason most interviews drift is the guide nobody opens. Ours is generated alongside the scorecard, the JD, and the 30/60/90 — so every question ties back to what you actually need to find out. Three rounds, structured, free.

A structured interview is not a list of behavioral questions you found on the internet. It is three rounds, each with a specific job to do, with questions tied to a scorecard you wrote first. If the questions are not tied to the scorecard, you are not running a structured interview — you are running a conversation in a structured costume.

Round one is the bar check. Could this person lead the team? Does the resume hold up under specific questions? You walk away with a clear yes or no.

Round two is a working session. You bring them inside the actual problem. They prepare a 1-page POV on something you sent over. You role-play one of the harder situations they would face on day 60. You watch them think.

Round three is the team. The people who would actually work for them or with them. Their feedback is binding, not advisory. If they say no, the offer does not go out.

Talent Traction generates all three rounds — including the specific questions, the pre-work, and the rubric for scoring. Free, customised to your role, downloadable. Built by Mike Cioffi, who runs this exact methodology on real searches.

Common questions

Things people ask first.

Can my panel actually use this in a real interview?
Yes — that is exactly the point. The guide is structured but not robotic. It gives interviewers questions and a scoring rubric, but leaves room to follow up on what the candidate actually says.
