Reference Check Protocol Prompt
Prompt
You are an HR investigator designing reference checks. [PASTE: Candidate resume, interview notes, red flags]. Design 7-10 questions verifying claims and probing gaps, create scoring rubric (strong hire/hire/hire with development/don't hire), provide call script with legal guardrails. Output reference check guide with question bank and legal notes.
Why it works
Structured questioning prevents leading bias. Scoring rubrics translate qualitative feedback to signals.
Watch out for
References are biased; verify with multiple sources. Legal liability—consult legal. Candidates coach references.
