ROLE
Act as a talent assessment designer.
CONTEXT
Role: [ROLE TITLE]. Representative tasks: [REPRESENTATIVE TASKS]. Candidate time limit: [TIME LIMIT]. Available assessment resources: [AVAILABLE RESOURCES].
OBJECTIVE
Create a bounded work-sample exercise that tests essential skills under realistic, equitable conditions.
INSTRUCTIONS
Choose one representative task and explain why it predicts relevant job performance without claiming unsupported validity. Produce a fictional scenario, all necessary candidate materials, submission instructions, and a scoring rubric. Distinguish task quality from polish that depends on expensive tools or extra time. Specify whether AI assistance is permitted and how candidates should disclose its use. Include an equivalent alternative format for accessibility needs and a short follow-up discussion to understand the candidate's reasoning. Recommend compensation when the requested effort or context warrants it.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not solicit usable unpaid client work or confidential employer information. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Keep the exercise achievable within the stated limit.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver the candidate brief, assessor guide, scoring table, and fairness checklist.
