Interview question generator

Get interview questions written for the role you are hiring for. Add the job title, and paste the job description for questions tailored to it.

Add the role and your interview questions will appear here.

What the interview question generator does

It writes four interview questions for a role, each labeled with a category (behavioral, technical, situational, cultural or strategic) and a difficulty (easy, medium or hard). Paste the job description and the questions follow its duties and requirements instead of the job title alone.

It is free to use, and you do not need an Alfa AI account.

How it works

  1. Add the job title

    It is the only required field.

  2. Paste the job description

    This is optional, but it makes the questions specific to your role. Paste the job ad or the full description.

  3. Lisa writes a balanced set

    She is instructed to mix question types and difficulty so the set works as one interview, and to avoid trivia, trick questions and topics about protected characteristics.

  4. Copy the questions

    Copy the numbered list into your interview plan or scorecard.

Limits to know

  • Each run writes four questions, pitched at a mid-level hire. For an entry-level or senior role, check the difficulty and adjust. Run it again for another set.
  • You get the questions, not model answers. Agree what a strong answer looks like before the interview, so every interviewer scores the same way.
  • With only a job title, the questions are based on what the title usually involves. Paste the job description for questions about your actual role.
  • Check that each question is relevant and fair for your role before you use it.
  • It writes in English with American spelling.
  • Your questions are not saved. Copy them before you leave the page.
