Mira AI Chatbot Questions

The Mira Chatbot Questions page allows you to manage the interview questions that the Mira chatbot asks applicants during the hiring process. These questions are presented conversationally by the chatbot, and applicant responses are used to support personality and behavioral insights.

This page controls what Mira asks applicants, but it does not control how results are displayed.

Tip: Most hiring teams start with the standard Mira questions and add 3–5 custom questions for role-specific insights.

What Are Mira Chatbot Questions?

Mira Chatbot Questions are interview-style questions asked by the Mira chatbot during an applicant conversation. Applicants respond in their own words, and Mira records those responses as part of the interview flow.

The quality of these questions directly affects the usefulness of the insights generated.

Mira organizes chatbot questions into two categories: built-in questions and customizable questions.

Types of Mira Questions

Mira uses two types of questions:

Standard Questions

Standard Questions are pre-built questions provided by HRGP.

• Available to all customers

• Automatically included in Mira interviews

• Require no setup or configuration

• Provide a consistent baseline across applicants

If you do not add any custom questions, Mira will still ask these standard questions.

Custom Questions

Custom Questions allow you to add your own interview questions to the Mira chatbot.

From this page, you can:

• Add new custom questions

• Edit existing custom questions

• Remove custom questions

• Assign questions to specific positions

Custom questions are asked in addition to the standard questions.

Position-Specific Questions

Custom Mira questions can be made position-specific, meaning:

• Different roles can have different chatbot questions

• Applicants are only asked questions relevant to the position they applied for

• Interviews stay focused and efficient

Examples:

• Sales roles → motivation and resilience

• Technician roles → independence and routine

• Leadership roles → decision-making and collaboration

Managing Mira Chatbot Questions

On the Mira Chatbot Questions page, you can manage both standard and custom questions.

• View all standard questions (read-only)

• Create and manage custom questions

• Assign custom questions to specific positions

Changes apply the next time an applicant interacts with the Mira chatbot. Previously completed interviews are not affected.

Examples of Strong vs. Weak Mira Questions

Strong Mira Questions

Strong questions:

• Are open-ended

• Encourage thoughtful responses

• Reveal behavior, preferences, or working style

• Feel conversational, not like a test

Examples of strong questions:

• “Do you prefer to work independently or as part of a team?”

• “How do you typically handle repetitive or routine tasks?”

• “What motivates you to do your best work?”

• “When things don’t go as planned, how do you usually respond?”

• “Do you prefer clear structure or flexibility in your workday?”

Weak Mira Questions

Weak questions:

• Invite yes/no answers

• Are vague or leading

• Encourage self-labeling instead of behavior

• Provide little insight

Examples of weak questions:

• “Are you a hard worker?”

• “Do you have good communication skills?”

• “Are you responsible?”

• “Do you like people?”

• “Would you say you’re motivated?”

Tips for Writing Better Mira Questions

• Ask how or what, not are you

• Focus on behavior and preferences

• Keep questions simple and conversational

• Ask one idea per question

• Avoid personality-test language
