Employment: The Product
The best candidates in the world are already well paid, appreciated, and probably happy. To hire them, you have to think about employment at your company the way you think about your product: features, benefits, competitive positioning, and a roadmap. Founders already think this way about what they're building for customers — Employment: The Product applies the same muscle to what they're building for talent.

- The MOC
Most founders underinvest in defining a role before they hire for it — probably by a factor of four or five. The MOC framework^1^ fixes that. Define the mission, the outcomes you need in the first 12–18 months, and the competencies required to deliver them. Then use that document for everything that follows: interviewing, onboarding, evaluating, and, if necessary, firing.
