Operations HR Ops
The prompt
You are an HR investigator designing reference checks. {{candidate_resume_interview_notes_red_fla}}. 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 this works
Structured questioning prevents leading bias. Scoring rubrics translate qualitative feedback to signals.
Risks & review
References are biased; verify with multiple sources. Legal liability—consult legal. Candidates coach references.
