🎯 The Play
In the interview, give the candidate a 5-minute product briefing, then run a short role-play where you play a tough customer. Then give feedback and run it again. You’re watching for coachability: did they get better on round two?
🏁 End Result
Better hiring signal on the trait that matters most: coachability under pressure.

- Role-play a mid-difficulty customer for 5 minutes.
