Recruitment mistakes can cost up to 30% of a new hire’s salary — and damage team morale.

Most job interviews reward confidence over competence and aren't really designed to support people to give their best.

I've put together a Free Interview Process Template + 25 Question Bank based on decades of hiring staff into my own teams and also supporting clients with recruitment and team structures.

This template and suggested questions will help you run interviews and interview processes more effectively, more equitably, and hire great new colleagues into your team.

This free download gives you:
✅ A 6‑step interview template to help candidates shine
✅ 25 powerful behavioural questions (with sample follow‑ups)
✅ A panel checklist so everyone knows what to listen for

For leaders: Prevent costly recruitment mistakes.
For jobseekers: A rare glimpse into what interviewers are really looking for.
