They should at least meet some other members of the team. Like ideally, you want this to be a mutual fit, like both culturally, but also they want to work with the people on the team. The team wants to work with them. So I think there's still value in doing a panel, but it's almost more culture fit and more team fit more than anything.

It's generally been hiring a generalist that, hey, this isn't for me. I don't want to do this after all. I've never done this problem or I've never done this job before. Now that I'm doing it, I really don't enjoy it. I want to go and get back into investing or I want to do like X, Y, Z. Honestly, I think it's difficult to assess for that.

And you just have to acknowledge that like no one, even the best person hiring is still going to make a lot of mistakes. And that's that's OK. Probably what's most important is just being as transparent as possible, both in terms of the opportunity and then in terms of how you're being going to be assessed and also just being transparent.
