The Hiring Manager Intake Checklist

Nobody agreed on what "good" looks like before the role opened. Now every interview round is a debate about whether this candidate counts.

Get the Hiring Manager Intake Checklist: nine questions, one page, ready to use in your next intake meeting. 

  • Success criteria: What does this role need to accomplish in the first year?

  • Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves: Stop treating every requirement as equal.

  • Candidate objections: Get ahead of round-two pushback before it happens.
