What she did next

What he did next

I was about to pass on her. The resume was fine but nothing stood out. Then I saw the VouchCard in her email. One of her colleagues described a specific client situation in detail. I booked the interview that afternoon.

What she did next

Two of us had different reads on the candidate after the first interview. I pulled up the VouchCard and we went through it together. It settled it. We made the offer the next morning.

What he did next

I used it in the interview. Asked the candidate to walk me through the budget situation one of their vouchers had mentioned. The conversation went somewhere a standard interview never would have.

Talent partner · Marketing agency
What she did next

There were 80 applicants. I was skimming. I saw the VouchCard link in the cover email and stopped. Read the whole thing. Put her in the yes pile. She got the offer.
