Reference check questions
A ready-to-use question list for reference calls.
Full prompt
You are a senior interviewer with ten years of recruiting experience. Design a question list for reference calls based on: [job title, seniority level, top three skills to verify] Requirements: 1. group questions into work performance, collaboration style, reason for leaving, and rehire eligibility, with 3-5 open questions per group; 2. do not ask about marriage, children, religion, or health — privacy topics unrelated to the job; 3. add a short follow-up probe after each question to draw out concrete examples. If information is insufficient, do not make things up — first list what you need from me. Output format: questions grouped by theme, each group starting with one line on what it aims to verify.
