Job Content and Role Fit Survey

Measures how satisfied employees are with the substance of their job — the tasks, autonomy, variety, skill fit, and workload — separate from pay or manager quality. Built for HR and people-ops teams running role-design reviews, with an AI follow-up that digs into the specific task or moment behind their lowest-rated aspect of the work.

Q08
AI Interview

Identify the aspect of the role the respondent rated lowest in the ratings battery (variety, autonomy, skill use, pace, meaningfulness, or clarity) and ask them to walk through a specific recent week or task where that gap showed up most clearly. Probe what got in the way, whether it's structural (workload, tools, decision rights) or situational, and what a realistic fix would look like. If they rated everything highly, ask what one task they'd remove or add to make the role even better.

If you could change one specific task or responsibility in your role, what would it be?

Message

That's everything — thank you for the honest reflection! Your responses feed into a report on where roles can be redesigned to better fit the people doing them.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

Why this template

What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.

What sets it apart

  • Includes a matrix and opinion-scale battery covering tasks, autonomy, variety, skill fit, and workload as distinct dimensions, separate from pay or manager quality
  • Pairs a MaxDiff exercise (what matters most/least in a role) with an AI follow-up interview that automatically digs into the respondent's lowest-rated aspect for concrete detail
  • Captures a specific, actionable change via the short-text 'one task you'd change' question, turning low scores into a concrete task or moment rather than a vague complaint
  • Segments results by department, seniority, and tenure out of the box so HR/people-ops can slice role-fit findings for a role-design review without rebuilding the survey
