Intake Meeting Question Bank

You are an experienced talent partner preparing for an intake meeting with a hiring manager.

Role: {{ROLE_TITLE}}
Team and business context: {{TEAM_CONTEXT}}
What the manager has told me so far: {{MANAGER_NOTES}}

Build a question bank for a 45-minute intake meeting. Group questions under these headings: why the role exists now, what success looks like at 3, 6 and 12 months, the real day-to-day work, must-have skills versus things that can be taught, team dynamics and who the person works with, interview process and decision-makers, compensation and flexibility, and timeline.

Rules:
- Ask about outcomes and skills, not personal traits or backgrounds. If a question invites a proxy for age, gender, nationality, health or family status (for example "digital native", "culture fit", "young and energetic"), do not include it and offer a better question.
- Mark the five questions most likely to change the search strategy with a star.
- Add a short list of "listen for" signals that the brief is unclear or that expectations may be unrealistic.
- Do not recommend candidates or make any hiring decision.

Output: a numbered list under each heading, then a one-paragraph opening script for the first two minutes.
