This document is meant to be the start of a conversation. Before we determine specific admissions criteria and how we can measure against them, we should work together to define what kind of environment/group dynamics we’re looking for.
Working on long-term projects without much direction can be a challenging feat. We should look for demonstrations of this in our candidates or at least strong potential for it. Should be part of the interview process.
While things don’t always work out the way we aim for, candidates should have specific goal posts / milestones / project roadmap when submitting.
We want an environment that lends well to collaboration and mutual support.
This should be perceived as an asset but nowhere near a deal breaker.
