The cost of improvising
The hire on your desk will not wait for a six-week cohort. You need a second pair of eyes on the panel, the debrief, the offer, or the miss – this week, not next quarter.
What it is
A standing hour on the roles you are carrying right now. Panel design, debrief calls, an offer you are not sure about, a hire that is not working yet. Confidential, specific, and short.
Cadence
Standing hour
An hour on whatever is on your desk: the panel, the debrief, the offer, or the miss.
For
The person carrying the hire
Founders, executives and heads of talent with a hire they cannot afford to get wrong.
You bring the case. We put a standard on it, written down, before the next conversation. Gut feel is memory you cannot audit. I do not sit in and perform the interview for you – you run the next one.
Where this is useful
- Founders making a hire they cannot afford to get wrong.
- Executives who want a second pair of eyes and not another process.
- Heads of talent carrying a standard the rest of the company has not met yet.
Where it is not
- Interview practice as performance coaching.
- Someone to source a shortlist. I do not recruit.
- A substitute for putting the work in writing.
