What is a Cipher?

Last Update 4 bulan yang lalu

The Job Cipher is a concise document that explicitly details what success looks like for a given role.

A Cipher paints a clear picture of:

  • How a candidate's success will be defined in the role
  • What specifically they will need to do to achieve that success
  • How they'll fit culturally within the organization
  • How they will manage their team, if applicable


Finally, a Cipher serves as the framework that enables managers to discuss the specific facts around a candidate’s suitability for a role versus comparing opinions of how each interviewer feels about a candidate.
