Digital Dossiers
for VP-level hiring.
VP hires fail at 40% within 18 months. Most of those failures were signalled in the candidate’s history. The signals were not surfaced because nobody built an intelligence file — just a resume and a recruiter summary.
The VP Hiring Problem
Why VP searches produce expensive mistakes.
The typical VP hiring process: source candidates, screen resumes, conduct first-round calls, shortlist, interview, decide. At no point in that process does a hiring manager receive a structured intelligence file.
They receive a resume (candidate’s self-presentation), an interview (60 minutes of managed impression), and a recruiter’s assessment (subjective). None of those inputs are structured to surface the signals that predict VP failure.
The hiring manager who approved a VP hire that failed in 14 months had every signal they needed — in the candidate’s history. They just didn’t have a document that organised it for them.
VP-Specific Intelligence Layers
What matters most differs by role.
A VP Sales dossier emphasises different evidence layers than a VP Engineering dossier. Majhi OS builds role-specific dossiers that weight signals according to the predictive patterns for each VP function.
VP Sales Intelligence
Revenue trajectory versus company stage, team growth rate, outbound motion evidence, quota attainment signals, and leadership style under pressure. Short tenure patterns weighted heavily — churn in sales leadership is often a signal, not a coincidence.
VP Engineering Intelligence
Team size growth, technical debt management signals, cross-functional stakeholder navigation, and candidate’s track record of hiring and retaining senior engineers. Architecture-to-execution balance assessed.
VP Marketing Intelligence
Demand generation versus brand balance in career history, attribution methodology understanding, and cross-functional alignment evidence. Revenue-aligned marketing experience weighted against brand-only background.
The Evidence, Not the Impression
What changes when you hire with intelligence.
When a hiring manager receives a Digital Dossier instead of a resume, two things change: the quality of the interview questions (because they’re built on evidence) and the confidence of the hiring decision (because it’s based on intelligence, not impression).
