The Interview Question Bank — 120 Ready-to-Ask Questions for Screening, Culture Fit & Role Rounds
120 ready-to-ask interview questions with a "what to listen for" judging note on every one. For founders, hiring managers, and small teams who interview without an HR department: phone screens, culture-fit checks, behavioral STAR questions, and role-specific rounds for engineering, sales, marketing, support, and leadership — plus closing questions that surface a candidate's real hesitations. Copy, replace the [brackets], and run fair, structured interviews from your first candidate. Made for HR teams, hiring managers and recruiters who want proven, copy-paste templates instead of starting from a blank page. Every template uses [bracket] placeholders: drop in your details and each one is ready to send, post or publish. Written in clear, natural language that works as-is — professional results without the blank-page struggle.
WHEN TO USE THIS
When: I need to interview my first hire and have no idea what to ask.
For example: A founder copies 10 phone-screen questions, runs 20-minute calls, and filters 30 applicants down to 5 real contenders in one afternoon.
When: Every interviewer on my team asks different questions and we cannot compare candidates.
For example: A hiring manager picks one fixed set of behavioral and role questions for the role, so every candidate gets the same fair test and debriefs take minutes.
When: I keep hiring people who ace the interview but clash with the team.
For example: A startup adds the 15 culture-fit questions to round two and spots communication-style mismatches before the offer letter goes out.
When: I need role-specific questions for a sales or engineering hire, not generic ones.
For example: A manager grabs the 10 sales questions — deal stories, lost-deal post-mortems, quota misses — and hears how the candidate actually sells in 30 minutes.

Ask the question exactly as written, then read the "Listen for" note to judge the answer. Replace anything in [brackets] with your company, role, or details before the interview. --- ## A. Phone Screening — 15 questions **1. Tell me in two minutes why you are interested in this [role title] at [company].** Listen for: A clear, specific reason — not a generic "I need a job." Good answers name something about the role or company. **2. Walk me through your last two roles and what you did in each.** Listen for: A short, honest summary with concrete duties. Vague answers here usually mean a thin CV. **3. What are you looking for in your next role that your current one does not give you?** Listen for: Motivation and self-awareness. Watch for answers that are only about salary — one mention is fine, three is a flag. **4. What salary range are you targeting?** Listen for: A straight answer that fits your budget. If the gap is more than 20%, this hire will not close. **5. When could you start if we moved forward?** Listen for: A realistic timeline. "Tomorrow" from an employed person can signal desperation or an exaggeration. **6. Are you comfortable with the [location / remote / shift] requirements of this role?** Listen for
