Copy-paste CVs, stock questions, and the myth that the company holds all the power. This episode takes apart all three, from both sides of the table. Sam Grill, Head of Quality and Support Engineering, has hired across fast-moving tech teams and sat in both chairs. Practical advice whether you're interviewing or being interviewed. What you’ll learn: • For candidates: why "I used X for five years" isn't enough — show problem, context, outcome • For candidates: how to work with talent partners from the first conversation • For candidates: recovering from a question that blindsides you, without bluffing • For hiring managers: agree what good looks like before the ad goes live • For hiring managers: fewer, better questions, and pulling the right threads • For hiring managers: gut feel versus evidence, and keeping bias out of the decision Hiring? You'll leave with a tighter process. Interviewing? You'll know how to stand out.
