USEFUL PERSPECTIVES
Start with three outcomes the hire should deliver in their first six months. Separate essential skills from skills that can be learned. Include the salary range, location, working pattern and interview stages so candidates can make an informed decision.
Show the problem, your contribution and the result. Explain the scale of your work and the tools you used, with evidence you are permitted to share. Tailor your CV to the role and prepare questions about the team, expectations and support.
Agree the format and what will be assessed beforehand. Use examples that relate to the actual work. Leave time for questions, explain the next step and share specific feedback. A clear process helps both sides assess the fit.
