I used to easily spend 30 to 60 minutes preparing for and writing my notes, per interview.
I’m better prepared now and I rarely spend more than 5.
The reason I love to be involved in the interview process for senior positions at my company is because I really care about finding the absolute best people. Get this right and the rest of my role as Founder goes so much smoother.
