How to write a hiring brief that actually holds.
Most searches don’t fail because good candidates aren’t out there. They fail because the brief was never locked, so the target keeps moving. This guide covers the five things every brief must lock, a working template, and how briefs quietly drift even with good intentions.
Free. No email required.
What’s inside
The role, and why it’s open now
One sentence a hiring manager and a coordinator would both sign off on.
Compensation, as a real range
The range you’d sign an offer letter at today, not an aspirational number.
Required vs. preferred qualifications
Two short lists, not one long one that screens for a mythical candidate.
The approval chain
Who signs off, in what order, decided before the search starts.
What interviewers will actually be asked
The same two or three questions for every interviewer, agreed in advance.
Plus a fill-in template you can use on your next search, and the four ways briefs quietly drift even when everyone has good intentions.
