#74Chapter 08 — Playbooks by Role
I need to hire a [role] for my company. Here's the context:

**Company stage:** [Seed/Series A/growth/etc. and team size]
**Why this role now:** [What triggered the need]
**What success looks like in 90 days:** [The concrete outcomes this person should deliver]
**Team context:** [Who they'll work with, who they report to, what's the team dynamic]
**Budget range:** [Salary range if known]

Create:
1. A job description that leads with impact, not a skills checklist. What will this person accomplish, not what boxes they check.
2. An interview scorecard with 5 evaluation criteria, weighted by importance, with sample questions for each.
3. A "red flags" list — what should disqualify a candidate for THIS specific role at THIS specific company stage.

Write the job description to attract builders, not resume optimizers. No buzzword bingo. No "fast-paced environment" or "wear many hats" — say what you actually mean.
