Designing Your Team Before You Hire
summary
Claims that hiring succeeds when teams are designed before requisitions are opened; methods actually used are role proto-personas, sliding non-binary variables (skill scales, not years), and a year‑later outcome thank‑you note as a spec of success. One leader faces 13 open roles in three months, turns templates into dozens of reusable role profiles, shares them with recruiters, uses them in onboarding, and reports faster clarity, better candidate fit, and repeatable hiring that survives role shifts and recession.
