Designing Interview Loops That Reveal True Fit.
Fit Goes Beyond Capability
Startups don’t fail because people can’t do the job - they fail because people don’t fit how the job needs to be done.
Your interviews should test mindset as much as experience.
Test for Bias to Action
Ask questions that reveal how candidates make decisions without full information.
You’ll quickly see who waits for direction and who creates it.
Layer the Conversations
Each interview should have a purpose.
One tests capability, one explores motivation, one uncovers alignment with your pace and culture. Together, they show whether someone will thrive, not just survive.
Keep It Human
Top candidates judge your process as much as you judge them.
A structured but human interview experience shows clarity, confidence, and respect for their time.
