Hiring, rubrics and growing a team
"How do you recruit good engineers" and "how would you grow this team from four to forty" are both questions about systems, not taste. The answer that scores describes a structured process, a rubric with named signals, and an honest position on what you would give up when hiring fast.
What you'll be able to do
- Describe a structured hiring loop and explain why unstructured interviewing predicts poorly
- Build a rubric with named signals and evidence-based ratings rather than overall impressions
- Answer "grow the team 10x" with a sequencing plan rather than a headcount plan
- Handle the bar-versus-speed trade-off without claiming you never compromise
