A question that actually screens candidates
You have 15 open roles and three hiring managers ask for priority at the same time. How do you decide, and what do you tell each one?
What you want to hear: Prioritizes with an explicit rule (business urgency, days open, candidates at final stage) and communicates the order with dates.
What rules them out: Says "everyone equally" or gives in to whoever pushes hardest.
Example scorecard
| Criterion | 1 (weak) | 3 (meets) | 5 (strong) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduling and follow-up | Drops tasks | Keeps follow-up current | Anticipates bottlenecks |
| Communication with hiring managers | Reactive | Updates on time | Manages expectations with data |
| ATS and data | Loose spreadsheets only | Uses the ATS daily | Pulls reports unaided |
| Prioritization | No rule | Basic rule | Explicit, communicated rule |
Score each criterion from 1 to 5 right after the interview, before comparing notes with the rest of the team.
