How to Verify Resume Claims Before an Interview

Turn a candidate resume into specific interview questions, answer signals, and evidence requests before a key hire.

Hiring for a critical operator role is hard because the resume often looks more precise than the interview evidence. A candidate may name budgets, growth rates, dashboards, channels, or tools, but the founder still needs to know what the person actually owned.

RoleProbe starts from a simple loop:

  1. Paste the job description.
  2. Upload or paste the resume.
  3. Review the claims that need pressure-testing.
  4. Use claim-specific probes in the interview.
  5. After the interview, paste notes back into the debrief and see which claims are supported, unclear, or contradicted.

Why claim-level prep matters

Generic interview questions are easy to rehearse. Claim-level questions are harder to fake because they ask the candidate to explain scope, decision rights, tradeoffs, evidence, and context.

For example, "improved ROAS from 2.1 to 4.3" should lead to questions about the baseline, measurement window, budget authority, attribution model, creative testing, landing page changes, offer changes, and what else was happening in the business at the same time.

What RoleProbe does not do

RoleProbe is not a hiring decision system. It does not rank candidates, recommend hire or no-hire decisions, analyze protected identity traits, or replace the human interviewer.

Its job is narrower: help a founder turn resume polish into evidence-led interview prep.
