Some of the best candidates do not interview neatly.

They may jump ahead, challenge the question, spot risks early, or answer the problem underneath the question.

And sometimes, that gets mistaken for being “too broad” or “not structured enough.”

But real work is not always neat either.

The better question is not, “Can this person give me the cleanest interview answer?”

It is: “How does this person think when the instructions are incomplete?”

That is where judgment shows up.

Give candidates realistic problems. Ask what they notice, what assumptions they would test, and what information they would need before making a decision.

Because the strongest hire may not be the smoothest interviewer.

They may be the person who sees what everyone else missed.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Pierre Anyansi yesterday, to discuss IT support for the business. If you are looking for someone to handle the annoying blue screen of dealth, internet outages, and -heaven forbid- ransomware, reach out to him!

From Pierre:
At Any IT Support, we protect the data of small, regulated businesses (10–50 employees) in healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

Because your data is everything—and it lives in more places than you think.
💻 Your hardware stores it
🧾 Your software lets you use it
🌐 Your network moves it
🔒 Your cybersecurity protects it

Now ask yourself:
👉 If your computer doesn’t turn on, how do you access your data?
👉 If Outlook, Chrome, or your core systems stop working, are you still productive?
👉 If your internet goes down, how much of your business stops?
👉 If someone clicks the wrong email, can your company survive ransomware?

These aren’t “IT problems.”

They’re business risks.

At Any IT Support, we make sure you don’t have to think about these risks—because they’re already handled.
✅ Secure your data
✅ Keep your systems running
✅ Reduce your risk

So you can stay focused on running your business.

Hiring managers do not need more resumes - they need better options.

There is a difference.

More resumes means more screening, more “maybe” candidates, more calendar juggling, and more time pulled away from the work they were actually hired to do.

That is not a recruiting process. That is resume dumping with extra steps.

A strong recruiting partner should understand the role, clarify what actually matters, screen for real fit, and send candidates who are worth the hiring manager’s time.

Because every weak resume has a cost.

It slows decisions.

It creates frustration.

And it makes hiring managers stop trusting the process.

We believe in sending fewer, stronger candidates who have been vetted with purpose.

Quality saves time.

And time is exactly what hiring managers do not have enough of.

Clear Costs. Clear Talent. Clear Results.

Most hiring managers don’t realize this:
The way you engage a recruiter directly impacts whether your role gets filled.

Contingency vs. Embedded/Retained is not just a pricing model -
It’s a priority model.

Contingency recruiting: You pay only if you hire.

Pros:
Lower upfront risk
Multiple firms can work the role

Cons:
You’re competing with other clients for attention
Less time invested per role
Speed and quality can vary

Embedded / Retained recruiting: You’re investing in dedicated focus.

Pros:
Your role becomes a priority
Deeper market reach and candidate engagement
More alignment with hiring managers

Cons:
Upfront investment
Requires clearer role definition and commitment

Neither model is wrong.

But they produce very different outcomes.

One gives you access.

The other gives you focus.

Question: When a role is critical, do you want optional effort… or dedicated attention?

Leadership hiring is a different animal.

Director-level roles do not just fill a seat. They shape strategy, influence culture, drive performance, and often determine whether a team moves forward or stays stuck.

Right now, there are Director-level and leadership opportunities live across functions including Sales, Tax, HR, Engineering, Market Leadership, and Project Controls. Some are on-site, some hybrid, and they span multiple markets across the U.S.

If you are a leader who is ready for the next step, or you know someone who is, it may be worth taking a look.

I’m continuing to share opportunities through PTF Consulting’s careers page so people can see what is out there without the usual mystery and runaround. Transparency still matters, especially at the leadership level. That is a core part of how PTF positions itself and communicates with both clients and candidates.
