3wSharing questions ahead of time is professional and respectful, and can lead to a more productive, thoughtful conversation about a candidate's alignment with a role. There is plenty of opportunity during the course of any search process to observe how a candidate thinks "on their feet" and responds in the moment to unexpected cues or situations. I wholeheartedly support this, rather than leaving candidates feeling hijacked and recruiters/interviewers without any real sense of a candidate's full breadth of experience or knowledge in a particular area.

3wYeah! And.. with the popularity and ease of use that ChatGPT - as well as other interview AI tools - bring, we have concerns that there is little original preparation being done. I can see this even with themes. In response, some orgs I work with give half the questions. Or all the questions for senior roles (they tend to be more involved and multi-faceted). It would be ideal to find a way to have candidates prepare in advance and on 'their own'. It would be just the best to read articles around recruitment that keep AI in mind, because it's impacting every stage of the process.
I’ve been reading about this and see a lot of value in this model!

3wI experienced this recently and appreciated the ability to prepare my answers a few hours before the actual interview. It was a less stressful experience, and since the interview questions were in-depth and practical, I don't believe I felt like my answers were rehearsed. Knowing the questions ahead of time just allowed me to focus my preparation to those themes and topics.
