Screening questions you can use tomorrow

A practical question bank for consistent, role-relevant screens. Edit the wording, mark what is required, and leave a note for the human reviewer who will assess the answer.

Use this as a working sheet. It is intentionally editable in the browser. There is no autosave, upload, or connection to a recruiting system, so copy your work or print it before closing the tab. Keep questions tied to the role and country. Do not make an automatic decision from a response.

How to use the bank

Replace bracketed context with the actual mandate. Select one answer type for each question and decide whether an answer is required for this stage.

Yes / No for a clear binary fact.
Single choice when the options are known in advance.
Short text for concise evidence or context.
Number for a count or measurable amount.

Role logistics

Confirm practical fit without turning the opening screen into a form marathon.
