Own evaluation for all senior and high-leverage roles

Build high-signal assessments: work samples, cases, structured interviews, technical screens (as appropriate)

Distinguish strong-but-wrong-fit from genuinely exceptional

Push back when a candidate doesn’t meet the bar; advocate when the right outlier appears

Track your own accuracy over time (quality of hire vs. prediction)

Identify candidates from technical, analytical, or finance environments who are capable but under-placed

Build long-term relationships with high-upside individuals (1–3 year horizon)

Maintain a live map of talent pools relevant to Deeter: where to look, who to watch, and what competitors are doing

Translate founder and leadership needs into clear talent specifications

Define role scope, expectations, decision rights, and interfaces

Improve communication loops and reduce ambiguity in hiring and team composition

Support performance clarity by ensuring people understand what “good” looks like

Ensure we meet legal requirements without building unnecessary processes
