This prompt turns it into your personal interview architect, helping you craft sharp, tailored questions that align with the role, the team, and what success truly looks like. Use it to be a proactive recruiter who walks into hiring syncs with a plan.
Impress your hiring manager with questions that go beyond the basics and show that you're already thinking two steps ahead. Without it, you're walking.
With it, you're leading.
