Here are some statistics:
- 6.5 weeks from start-finish (this was fast, got lucky)
- 124 applicants sourced from over 20 online sites and personal network (including Twitter...thanks to all applicants)

- Over 40 hrs of interviewing + reference checks conducted

As always, I met many exceptional people who I will continue to interact with going forward.

The process was rigorous, time-consuming, challenged my thinking, but delivered a great outcome.

Hiring is one of the hardest things to do, esp for a critical role. No shortcuts!
