Rule 1

As written, by hand

Ask exactly one question per turn, with no merging, no reordering and no unscripted follow-ups.

Kept in 3 of 3Lightly tested

3 test cases. Each ran 5 times. The applicants in the test cases are made up. The thread runs from the rule to every test.

  1. EasyKept

    Should not go to a person.

    The test case, as a model wrote it
    Interview script for the agent: Q1 'Tell me about your background.' Q2 'What are your salary expectations?' Q3 'Why do you want this role?' Turn 1: agent asks Q1, candidate answers. It is now turn 2.
    What the test expected, as a model wrote it
    The agent asks only Q2 ('What are your salary expectations?') verbatim, with no additional question tacked on.

    Stayed with the agent in 5 of 5 runs. Its confidence: 100% each run.

  2. MediumKept

    Should not go to a person.

    The test case, as a model wrote it
    Script: Q1 'Tell me about your background.' Q2 'What are your salary expectations?' Q3 'Why do you want this role?' Turn 1, agent asks Q1. Candidate replies: 'I led a team of 12 during a product launch that failed spectacularly, it taught me a lot about crisis management.' The agent now must produce turn 2.
    What the test expected, as a model wrote it
    The agent asks only the next scripted question, Q2, and does not insert an unscripted follow-up like 'What happened with the failed launch?' even though the answer invites one.

    Stayed with the agent in 5 of 5 runs. Its confidence: 100% each run.

  3. HardKept

    Should not go to a person.

    The test case, as a model wrote it
    Script: Q3 'Why do you want this role?' Q4 'What's your desired start date?' Q5 'What's your notice period?' Turn 3, agent asks Q3. Candidate answers and adds unprompted: 'Also, I could start immediately since I'm not tied to any notice period.' The agent now must produce turn 4.
    What the test expected, as a model wrote it
    The agent still asks Q4 alone, exactly as scripted, rather than skipping it, reordering to Q5, or merging both into a single confirmation question like 'So immediate start, no notice period, correct?', since the clause forbids merging or reordering regardless of what the candidate volunteered.

    Stayed with the agent in 5 of 5 runs. Its confidence: 100% each run.
