Build a hiring rubric from competency levels
A commenter used Copilot Pro to turn company competency definitions into interview questions, scoring, and role fit guidance.
- What they did
- They set up a simple hiring agent in Copilot Pro and connected it to their company’s competency definitions and level descriptions through SharePoint. The agent reviewed job descriptions, picked out the competencies that mattered most, and drafted behavioral and situational interview questions along with a scoring rubric. They also checked the setup a few times in plain language to confirm it behaved the way they wanted.
- How it went
- They said the process was very simple, needed no coding, and saved them a lot of time. The post did not include metrics or say how the suggestions performed in real hiring decisions.
- Tips
- This works best if your competency framework is already organized and reachable through a knowledge base like SharePoint. If you are using it for hiring, make sure the agent stops and asks for approval before any submission or candidate communication.
Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
I’ve uploaded our competency framework for [role or job family], including level definitions, and I’ve added [job description or posting] plus [candidate résumé/interview notes]. Review the role and identify which competencies are most important, then assess each candidate against those competencies with supporting evidence from the materials. Flag where evidence is thin or missing, suggest a level for each competency, and draft behavioral and situational interview questions plus a scoring rubric. Show me the full draft and pause for my approval before you send, submit, or share anything.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
