Principles
01
Specific beats impressive
A precise role story outperforms a vague one, even when the vague one sounds bigger.
02
Feedback is part of the work
Candidate and client feedback is not admin. It is the data that sharpens every next decision.
03
Respect the person
No disappearing acts, no CV forwarding without context and no manufactured urgency.
