• Mandatory interview start script: state that a coding/skill test and live interview are required, and that dishonesty leads to permanent ban.
• Questions to ask and record in the AI interview summary: highest level of education; exact number of years of Slurm experience; exact hours per week the candidate can commit (provide a specific number or a narrow range, e.g., "20-25 hours per week" is acceptable; open-ended answers like "20+" are no
• Also ask for real-world Slurm examples: what they built, optimized, or managed using Slurm; include their answers in the interview summary.
• Do not ask leading questions; instead ask open prompts (e.g., "What is your highest level of education?", "How many years have you worked with Slurm?").
