#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.
