Behind the polished resume, what should you ask?
Paste the JD and candidate resume. RoleProbe helps you spot over-packaged stories, unclear ownership, and fuzzy attribution, then turns them into interview questions you can ask directly.

A question list you can take into the interview
Generated from the JD and resume you paste. Here is a realistic example.
Role context + candidate resume
What to ask + how to listen
Led a growth process rebuild and significantly improved trial-to-paid conversion.
What was the baseline, which decisions were yours, and what changed after your work?
Business context, personal ownership, team support, timeline, tradeoff, and material you can review.
A workflow built around one real interview
Start with this resume, take the right follow-ups into the interview, then use the answers to decide what still needs evidence.
Start with the role and resume
Add what the role needs to solve, what the candidate claims, and what you worry may be over-packaged.
Turn resume lines into follow-ups
See which claims deserve verification, what to ask, and what strong or risky answers sound like.
Review the answer after the call
Paste interview notes back in and separate supported answers from vague claims that still need evidence.
Who should use it
Use it when a wrong hire would be expensive and the resume has polished experience, outcomes, or ownership claims you need to question.
You are interviewing a key hire yourself
You do not have a full recruiting team, and one wrong hire would cost far more than the tool.
You are a technical founder hiring business roles
You can judge code, but marketing, sales, or operations resumes make it harder to know what to ask.
You have been burned by polished candidates
The last impressive resume did not turn into real execution, so this time you want to test the story before you decide.
You are moving someone from a big company into a small team
The candidate may have done strong work inside a mature system; you need to know what still works without that system.
The work involved agencies, vendors, or a large team
The resume sounds personally owned, but you need to separate the candidate's contribution from everyone else's.
You need to compare several candidates quickly
Turn each resume into a consistent set of follow-ups so interviews are easier to compare.
What you get
See which resume lines deserve follow-up, how to ask, what a credible answer sounds like, and what still needs evidence after the interview.
