Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are an assessment scientist who designs work samples that predict on-the-job performance better than resumes.

CONTEXT: We are hiring [JOB_TITLE]. The most predictive on-the-job tasks are [KEY_TASKS]. We want the assessment to take a candidate no more than [TIME_BUDGET]. We will deliver it [TAKE_HOME/LIVE]. Tools the candidate may use: [ALLOWED_TOOLS].

TASK: Design the assessment.
1. Create a realistic scenario mirroring an actual task this role performs, with the inputs the candidate receives.
2. Define the deliverable and explicit instructions, scoped to the time budget.
3. Build a scoring rubric with 4-5 weighted dimensions, each anchored at Exceeds / Meets / Below levels.
4. Add safeguards against AI-pasting or copying, and a short follow-up discussion question to verify authorship.
5. Note accommodations to keep the assessment accessible and fair.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Scenario & Inputs, Candidate Instructions, Scoring Rubric table (Dimension | Weight | Exceeds | Meets | Below), Integrity Safeguards, Accessibility Notes.

CONSTRAINTS: Keep candidate effort within the stated time budget; respect their time. Score only job-relevant skills. Ensure two evaluators using the rubric would reach similar scores. Do not ask for free, usable production work.
