Interviewing & Hiring Like a Boss
summary
Has done nearly 300 interviews and codifies the process: a reusable question bank and markdown template (uses Obsidian) with STAR/SBI note fields, blind CV review, and assigned competencies per interviewer so functional and leadership skills are always covered. Enforces practical rules — no more than two shadows, interview feedback within 2 days (phone-screen decision in 5 days), personal limit of two interviews per week — and tracks candidate surveys and rubrics in a spreadsheet to calibrate hiring decisions.
