Your decision
1
Why they fit
- Problem -> Change -> Result 25%
The candidate identifies a friction (12 enterprise accounts blocked on integration requirements), ships an integration with 3 ERP systems, and directly unlocks those accounts. The link between the candidate's action and a tangible business outcome is clearly stated.
- Builds Repeatable Ways of Working 20%
The candidate introduced fortnightly customer calls as a structured recurring practice where previously discovery was ad-hoc. However, detail on broader team adoption or long-term operational tooling/templates beyond their own rhythm is limited.
2
Where they fall short
- Evidence-Led Decisions −16 pts
The candidate mentions speaking with clients and collecting requirements, but does not provide evidence of decisions being changed, stopped, or prioritised based on evidence or post-mortems.
- Carries Ambiguous Problems Through to Closure −16 pts
The candidate worked across 8 plant locations and mapped processes across cross-functional teams in consulting, but notes they were not the decision-maker, and there is no example of taking an ambiguous messy problem through full cross-functional closure or handling escalations.
- Gets to the Source Before Designing the Fix −9 pts
The candidate directly interviewed procurement heads for discovery and mapped processes across plant locations. However, the CV does not show how the resulting product or solution design specifically pivoted or changed as a direct result of firsthand findings.
