You're evaluating them, too.

Every company sells itself well in interviews. These questions get past the deck and into what the role actually demands — and what the company is really like to work in.

Use the scorecard before conversations start, not after. Get clear on what you need from the role so you're not making the decision under pressure at the offer stage.

These aren't generic job-seeker checklists. Each scorecard is specific to the C-suite role — the stakes, the reporting lines, the authority, and the challenges that come with it.
