CAMPUS INTERVIEW PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Give each candidate a useful plan for the interview ahead.

Bring a role description and candidate-provided background together to prepare interview questions, discussion topics, and a practical study plan. Keep the material focused on preparation rather than judging a candidate, and have a placement professional verify the details and intended recipient before sharing a personalized guide.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Candidate information and a role description provided for a specific placement-preparation purpose

“Prepare individualized interview guidance for a candidate, without making or recommending hiring, ranking, or placement decisions.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps placement teams organize role-specific practice material so candidates can prepare for upcoming interviews with clearer guidance.

  1. Gather the role and candidate context

    Collect the current role description and only the candidate details that are appropriate for interview preparation.

  2. Identify topics to practice

    Compare stated role requirements with the candidate’s supplied experience to suggest areas for reflection, not to score or rank the candidate.

  3. Prepare interview and discussion prompts

    Create role-relevant questions, group-discussion topics, and a study plan that the candidate can adapt to their own experience.

  4. Review the guide for accuracy and fairness

    Have a placement professional check the role details, personal information, assumptions, and usefulness of the recommendations.

  5. Approve the guide before sharing

    Confirm the exact document and intended candidate with an authorized person; keep selection and placement decisions separate and human-led.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewable preparation guide with role context, practice questions, discussion topics, and suggested next steps.

Keep in mind

Candidate details are personal information, and preparation material must not become an employment assessment. Limit information to what is needed, check the guide for accuracy and inappropriate assumptions, and have an authorized placement professional approve the exact guide and recipient before sharing. People must make all screening, hiring, and placement decisions.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the preparation purpose

State that the material supports candidate practice and is not used to assess, rank, screen, or select applicants.

Choose appropriate candidate information

Use only approved, relevant details and keep access limited to people supporting the placement process.

Set content and fairness standards

Describe suitable question types, role-specific references, and assumptions that reviewers should remove or challenge.

Assign a placement reviewer

Name who checks every guide and confirms its exact recipient before candidate information is shared.
