1 · The brief

Ask any manager about their best person.

Your talent team or your hiring manager briefs Kit, or both do together. It takes ten minutes.

What did they get done in the first year that a good person wouldn't have? What was the place like to work in? What was the team trying to achieve? What got in everyone else's way? Ten minutes of that, and you know the hard part of this job, and what it takes to do it well. Kit tells every person who applies the hard part, and listens for the ones who'd choose it. That is how you find out whether someone would be at their best with you, rather than whether they look like the job description.

Here's the role as I heard it

The hard part of this job

Get the board pack out on time, with stakeholders who won't answer and a deadline that doesn't move.

What they'll spend their days on

Month-end, the pack, and chasing.

The standard

Edit

The hard part of this job

Get the board pack out on time, with stakeholders who won't answer and a deadline that doesn't move.

Friday's board pack is due and two stakeholders still haven't sent their numbers. What do you do?

Great answerThey send the pack on Friday, built on the numbers that are in, with the two gaps flagged on page one and a date for closing them. That afternoon they sit with the two stakeholders, so next month's pack never needs chasing.
Good answerThey chase the two on Wednesday, escalate to their manager on Thursday, and send the pack on Monday with a note explaining the delay.

Kit: This is the standard I wrote from the brief. One question. Under it, a good answer and an exceptional one, taken from what the manager told me. Same question for every applicant. The manager changes any word of it.

Kit writes four things from the brief.

All in your words. You change any line, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

The call as your recruiter reads it, on the day she applied. Names changed. Your team reads every word before deciding anything.

What people said after the call.

“Rather than just looking at a CV, you can actually speak to me. I definitely think it's the way forward.”
Laura, 4 September 2026
“That was like almost speaking to a human. Absolutely fabulous.”
Mazhar, late August 2026
“It's quite comforting. No pressure.”
Nadine, 5 September 2026
“You can pass to the hiring manager that I'm a big fan.”
Filip, September 2026
“It's actually reinforced my interest in the company.”
Omkar, 5 September 2026
“I think I'm gonna share it with my mom's group. As mothers, we look for something remote.”
Sheila, September 2026

Kit puts her call beside the brief.

The Kit that spoke to her is the Kit that took the brief, so it can see where they match.
