The Role Intake Brief: The Eight-Section Framework That Prevents Failed Searches
Qfyre TechLabs Role Template - 6 pages, ready to fill and use before sourcing begins.
- Eight structured sections from role basics and job context through to deal-breakers and disqualifiers - everything a search team actually needs before sourcing a single profile
- Skills and requirements section with an explicit must-have vs nice-to-have distinction that prevents over-specified briefs and over-filtered pipelines
- What Good Looks Like section - the most consistently skipped and most valuable part of any search brief - with prompts for industry background, company type, and career trajectory signals
- What Candidates Will Ask: prompts for preparing honest answers to the questions that surface in every serious interview about role, progression, challenges, and culture
- Interview process and target time-to-offer fields that surface timeline risk before the search starts rather than after it stalls
- Dual sign-off confirmation that formalises alignment between hiring manager and talent partner before sourcing begins

Role Intake Brief
The Eight-Section Framework Used by Qfyre TechLabs Before Sourcing Any Role
Most tech searches fail before they start - not because the sourcing was poor or the shortlist was weak, but because the brief was incomplete. This template is the same framework Qfyre TechLabs uses in the FYRE Fit Discovery phase: eight structured sections that surface the information a search team genuinely needs to find the right fit, not just the right resume. Complete it with your hiring manager before sourcing begins and the search runs on a different track entirely.
