Interview Guide Builder

From job description to BEI or STAR behavioral guide in minutes

AI reads your role, proposes competencies from your inventory, drafts contextualized questions, and delivers a guide ready to run live, copy, or export to Word.

Many teams have psychometric tests or screened CVs, but the behavioral interview stays improvised: generic questions, no link to the job description, and no comparable evidence across candidates.

How it works

Four steps from job description to live interview

  1. 1

    Describe the role

    Paste the job description or import one saved in your Job Description repository.

  2. 2

    Confirm competencies

    Review the AI proposal: adjust up to 5 competencies from your Dictionary, with criticality and evidence from the description.

  3. 3

    Choose BEI or STAR

    Select the methodology and get questions contextualized to the role, with follow-up probes.

  4. 4

    Use the guide

    Enter live interview mode, capture evidence and ratings, and export to Word or copy with formatting.

BEI or STAR: choose the methodological framework

The Guide Builder does not deliver internet templates: it generates role-aligned instruments with the framework you choose. BEI (Behavioral Event Interview) goes deep on past behavioral events per Spencer & Spencer; STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) structures evidence in four clear blocks. In both cases, AI contextualizes questions to the industry, functions, and stakeholders in the job description.

BEI
Behavioral Event Interview: explores real past situations to infer competencies in depth.
STAR
Classic situational framework: Situation, Task, Action, Result — ideal for teams already using it in committee.
Scorecard
The guide includes criteria and weights per competency so every interview is comparable and defensible.

Why it feels so well built

Real methodology, not generic chat

BEI (Spencer & Spencer) or STAR with behavioral quality signals, vague-answer alerts, and follow-up probes.

AI with rigor on your inventory

Matching does not invent competencies: it works on your Competency Dictionary and anchors questions to the job description.

Live interview mode

Record evidence, notes, and ratings per competency during the interview; everything is included in the export.

Recruiter-ready output

Copy with formatting, download editable .docx, or use the structured preview of the full guide.

Integrated into the HR OS

Connects with Job Descriptions, Test Catalog, Campaign Architect, and your competency dictionary.

Built for Latin America

Neutral Spanish, regional work context, and professional tone without bias in generated questions.

Trust-based or leadership role?

For critical roles, complement the guide with psychometric evaluation and headhunting led by an organizational psychologist: validated tests, competency-based interview, and a defensible recommendation report.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Interview Guide Builder?

It is the Obrii App module that turns a job description into a professional behavioral guide: it proposes competencies from your inventory, drafts contextualized BEI or STAR questions, and lets you run them live with evidence capture.

Does the AI invent new competencies?

No. Matching works on a closed set—your Competency Dictionary—and you confirm or adjust the proposal before generating the guide.

Can I export the guide to Word?

Yes. Download an editable .docx in one click, or copy the guide with formatting ready for Google Docs. If you used live mode, captured evidence is included in the export.

Which plan includes it?

It is part of Obrii App's Pro plan, along with the full BEI module. You can try it 14 days free, no credit card required.

Does it replace the interviewer or psychologist?

No. It is a screening and selection tool, not clinical diagnosis. AI suggests; the professional confirms competencies and interprets the evidence.
