Before: Winging it and hiring the guy who talked best.
After (example output):
Scenario: ‘You’re at a house at 6 PM. The fix is a $1,900 repair on a 17-year-old system and the homeowner asks what you’d do. Walk me through it.’ Good answer: gives options, explains honestly, doesn’t push. Red flag: blames the customer or says ‘always replace.’
Tips
- Ask the same questions to every candidate so you can compare.
- Use real numbers from your own reports. Never let the AI invent them.
- Keep it in your voice. Edit the draft until it sounds like you talking to your crew.
- Review every draft before you send it. You’re accountable for what goes out.
