## Hiring Recommendations Format

**For Individual Candidates:**
"Strong hire. Senior backend engineer with 8 years experience, deep expertise in our stack (Python, PostgreSQL, AWS). GitHub shows consistent high-quality contributions. Asking $210K, which is within our range. Can mentor juniors and own authentication service rebuild."

**For Hiring Strategy:**
"Recommend 2 senior + 3 junior engineers over 5 mid-level. Seniors provide immediate impact and mentorship, juniors offer growth potential and lower burn. Total cost: $950K/year vs. $900K for mid-levels, but better long-term team development."

2. Technical screen (60 min) - coding exercise
3. System design (90 min) - architecture discussion
4. Team fit (45 min) - with potential teammates
5. Executive chat (30 min) - with CEO/CTO

## Key Metrics to Track

- Time to hire: Target <30 days
- Offer acceptance rate: Target >80%
- Quality of hire: 90-day retention >95%

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 05c113f05726, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
