removed this one because that's obvious.

I reckon we should keep it. What's obvious to you or me might not be to someone else (or even our future selves). This example behaviour puts the emphasis on being empathetic and treating others with respect which is something that's imo highly important to Vend

I agree with Celine. This is not a given for everyone and we can all use a regular reminder to get better at this.

My point here was that because you're treating someone with respect shouldn't grant you the level 2.

@cecileVend I'm happy to move this one to #1, what do you think?

@renanrt my handle is @celine-may ;)
Milestone #1 is not about interviewing so this example should stay in milestone #2 imo

This example is interviewing with respect not just treating someone with respect. Maybe you could re-word the example if you think it's not clear enough

do we want them to have actually evaluated candidates? otherwise, all they need to do is read the confluence page. i guess it's only level 1. 🤷‍♀️

I don't think reading a Confluence page demonstrates 5 Cs so I'm okay with that.

Not sure we need to link to the confluence page here 🤔

i think there are potentially two examples here:

  • Conducted practical tests for interview candidates. (imo, this might be level 3)
  • Created new practical test(s) to test the technical capabilities of interview candidates. (imo, level 4)

what do you think?

I like having the 2 separate examples but imo the 1st one should be a level 2 (as part of interviews regularly) and the 2nd should be a level 3 (Maintains and strengthens the integrity of the current process)

Conducted practical tests for interview candidates, seems like level 2 because you're just using an existing process? You're not strengthening the process.

I still think there's more we could do to define what we're looking for in a candidate, but that note doesn't belong here.

We're missing a description for this track. This blurb provides more context and help the reader better understand the track.

Here's Medium's description for this track:

Recruiting is one of the most important things that we do as an organisation. We need engineers to bring candidates into the pipeline, think about how we build a diverse team that covers our blindspots, evaluate candidates purely on the criteria that we deem important, and ensure that we only bring in new people that believe in our company values.

You could tweak it or use it as is if it fits our views on this tracks.

This might be nit picking but we don't need to add Consistently to this example.
