🔎 Stage-Based Peer Review Questions

Each stage is an opportunity to identify risks, ensure candidate engagement, and confirm cultural fit so the right person is placed in the right role.

📍 Stage 1: Pre-Screen

• What is the biggest risk with this candidate?
• If you were the hiring manager, what concerns would you have?
• Did they give any answers that don’t fully add up?
• How do we know they won’t drop out?
• How do we make sure they stay engaged between stages?
• If they get another offer tomorrow, what happens?
• What kind of decision-making environment do they thrive in?

📍 Stage 2: Interview Prep

• What part of the interview will they struggle with most?
• Are there any soft skills they might lack?
• If they fail, what will have caused it?
• How have you tested their preparation?
• Have you stress-tested their ability to answer tough questions?
• Did they fully read the prep pack, or are they guessing?
• Do they thrive in a fast-paced or methodical environment?

📍 Stage 3: Post-Interview Feedback

• What were the exact concerns from the interviewer?
