This is the background I would like to share: my firm, Schweiger & Partners, has received overwhelmingly positive public feedback.

Not long ago, a candidate who didn't make it through our hiring process left a public review on Glassdoor. In it, they described our interviews as "long-winded" and accused us of being "elitist." They felt we talked too much, expected too much, and made the hiring process unnecessarily intense.

We read it. We reflected on it. And ultimately — we agreed.

Yes — our process is long.
Yes — we hold ourselves to elite standards.
That is because we do not hire to fill chairs.
We hire to win.
