Hiring Brief

Get clear on what you're actually hiring for before you post anything — and produce a job description and scorecard you can use to evaluate candidates consistently.

What you walk away with

A real document, built from everything you worked through — then critiqued the way a tough reviewer would and polished round by round. Plus a project summary that shows your work.

17 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01What role are you hiring for, and what's driving the need right now?
  2. 02What stage is the company at, and how does this hire fit into the current team?
  3. 03Is this a full-time employee, part-time, or contractor — and is that actually the right call?

+ 12 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.
