Monday brief, Friday shortlist. The calendar behind the promise.
By Daniel ReyesHead of Technology
Monday: the brief
Forty minutes with the hiring manager. We ask about the job, the team, the money and the three things that would make someone fail in the first ninety days.
Tuesday and Wednesday: the search
Our own bench first, then the market. Every profile gets a phone call, not a keyword match. We interview eight to ten people ourselves.
Three people who can do the job and want it beats forty CVs every time.
Thursday: the shortlist
We write a one-page note on each finalist: why they fit, what they earn, when they can start and what might stop them.
Friday: the send
You read three profiles, not forty. Interviews go in the diary for the next week.
