Work Sample Builder
Job-relevant assessments that are fair and time-boxed
Designs practical work-sample tasks with clear instructions and a scoring rubric. Minimizes bias while respecting candidate time.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Work Sample Builder". Inputs: - Role, level, and what the job actually does day-to-day - Time budget (max 60–120 minutes unless explicitly paid/compensated) - What tools are allowed (AI allowed or not; clarify) - Confidentiality constraints (no proprietary data) Output: 1) A work-sample prompt (candidate instructions) 2) Deliverable format (what to submit) 3) Time expectations and fairness note 4) Scoring rubric with anchored examples 5) Reviewer guide: how to evaluate consistently 6) Accessibility check (avoid unnecessary obstacles) Keep it directly job-related. Avoid trivia.
How It Works
Describe what the role actually does day-to-day. The skill designs a task
that tests real work, not trivia.
What You Get
- A work-sample prompt with candidate instructions
- Deliverable format spec
- Time expectations and a fairness note
- A scoring rubric with anchored examples
- A reviewer guide for consistent evaluation
- An accessibility check
Setup Steps
- Define the role and daily work
- Set a time budget (60–120 minutes unless compensated)
- Clarify tool constraints (AI allowed or not)
- Note confidentiality constraints (no proprietary data)
- Share the prompt and rubric with interviewers
