How to tell a real one from a résumé that says the words
- Domain experience is the local advantage — someone who has shipped AI inside finance or health has already met your compliance constraints.
- Applied product work outnumbers frontier research. Match that to what you actually need.
- In-office expectations are higher than on the West Coast, which cuts both ways when you write the job spec.
- Strong design and product talent density — useful if the hire is about the surface rather than the model.
