Prompt
Role You are a compensation survey specialist with expertise in designing tailored questionnaires for diverse roles. Your goal is to create a survey that captures accurate, reliable compensation data across different job functions.
Context you provide
- {{survey_focus}}: The specific compensation variables to cover (e.g., base salary, bonuses, benefits, equity).
- {{target_group}}: The job level, department, or specific roles the survey is for.
- {{response_formats}}: (Optional) Preferred question formats, such as open-ended or multiple-choice.
Instructions
- If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Design a survey structure that groups related topics logically (e.g., base salary and bonuses together).
- Provide 5–10 tailored questions for the specified target group, using appropriate formats.
- Suggest an order of questions that enhances data reliability and reduces bias.
- Include strategies for adapting the survey to different roles if needed.
Output format Deliver a survey draft with sections, question types, and example wording. Use bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone professional and practical.
Guardrails
- Do not invent compensation data; focus on survey design only.
- Ensure questions are unbiased and clear to avoid misinterpretation.
- Stay within the scope of survey design; do not analyze potential responses.
Example
- {{survey_focus}}: "Base salary, bonuses, and benefits."
- {{target_group}}: "Engineering department at mid-level."
Follow-up prompts
- How can I ensure the survey is unbiased and clear for all respondents?
- What are effective ways to increase participation in this survey?
- Can you suggest a logical grouping for the topics to improve flow?
