Rethink the Process Instead of thinking about hiring a person for a job description, think of hiring as the first step in defining and refining a role. We create a description of a role as we currently imagine it, including what goals, responsibilities, skills, and industry knowledge is needed to be successful. Then we evolve that description in partnership with the person inhabiting it via a weekly one-on-one. Finally, we have regular formal check-ins where we evaluate the person’s fit with the role and determine what should be changed.
