Write a useful brief

The conversation

A vacancy title is a starting point, not a hiring brief. Begin with the work that needs to be done and the decisions the person will own. Ask the hiring manager which responsibilities will occupy a normal week.

Separate requirements that are essential on the first day from skills a person can develop. A long list of preferences can exclude people who would be capable of doing the work well.

Record the location and working arrangements early. Clarity about these practical points prevents a promising conversation from reaching a late and avoidable disagreement.
