Why these 10

Most interview guides give you generic questions.
This one gives you signal.

We've used these exact questions across 1,400+ candidate interviews. They're not theoretical, they're what we screen for every single day.

1

Behavior over biography

Every question is built around past behavior, not hypotheticals. Candidates can rehearse "what would you do?" They can't rewrite what they actually did.

2

Built for remote roles

Designed for hiring across time zones, where you can't grab coffee with the person first. Each question tests for the traits that matter most when you can't see them every day.

3

Scoring rubrics included

Each question comes with what an A-player answer looks like, what a B-player answer looks like, and the red flags that should end the interview early.
