04/ candidate evidence

How do we assess sdr and bdr candidates? show the work

Our recommended assessment starts from the role you are hiring, rather than a generic interview score.

AssessmentWhat to examine
1Give a sanitised ICP and ask for a short account-research explanation and concise first message.
2Run a brief buyer-role call with an objection, then give feedback and ask the candidate to try again.
3Ask them to explain a product in plain words and identify who would not be a suitable buyer.
4For experienced hires, separate self-sourced and marketing-sourced meetings; ask what happened after the meeting and what support was already in place.
5For less experienced candidates, assess the task and response to feedback rather than inventing a minimum quota-history requirement.

Use sanitised information and an agreed, proportionate task.

Do not ask candidates to disclose a previous employer’s confidential data.

05/ a practical brief

An outbound prospecting brief: what would you ask? a fictional example

Fictional example: A BDR receives a target account, a buyer problem and a short product explanation.

Ask for account research, a concise first message and a buyer-call role play, then give feedback and repeat part of the task.

This is an assessment recommendation, not a client case or a prediction of hiring success.

06/ the search

How do we run the recruitment search? agree the responsibility first

Define the work and support

Agree the role scorecard, location constraints and evidence needed before outreach.
