Comparing two final candidates
The panel is split. Each interviewer is weighing something different, and the debate keeps restarting because nobody has written down what the role actually needs.
What this decision usually turns on
- Evidence against each core requirement
- Ramp-up time and what it costs the team
- Gaps the rest of the team already covers
- Trajectory versus current level
- Risk if the hire does not work out
These are a starting point. The first thing Phronexia does is help you decide which of them actually matter here, and what weight each one carries.
Who should be in it
