Role-based hiring

Hiring the role that owns, uses, or feels the pain your product solves.

Why it works

When a company hires the person who owns, uses or buys a product like yours, the need is in the budget and someone is about to take charge of it. The job post often lists the problems the new hire will be asked to fix. That gives you a person to talk to and a reason to talk now.
