Draft the role brief and ideal-candidate profile

Turns a staffing need into a tight written role brief — responsibilities, must-haves, and the producer profile that actually fits how this firm works.

In / outGap description + bench context → role brief with responsibilities, must-have / nice-to-have signals, and ideal-candidate profile

You might say…

Every bad hire I've made started with a vague brief. This forces me to say exactly what 'good' looks like before I talk to anyone.

What it does

From a need (a gap on the bench, an upcoming engagement, a capability the firm lacks), write a tight role brief — responsibilities, the must-have versus nice-to-have signals, and the producer profile that actually fits how this firm works. Used at the very start of a hire, before anything is posted, to make explicit what 'good' looks like.

Trigger: Use when a new hire need has been identified and before anything is posted or screened.

The primitives are the commodity part. The fastest next step is a conversation about composing them into something that works for you.
