Man (Daniel): So, what did you think of the candidate we interviewed this morning?

Woman (Samantha): Overall, I was quite impressed. She has strong technical skills and clearly knows the industry well. My only hesitation is that she hasn’t managed a team larger than three people before, and this role requires leading a team of twelve.

Man (Daniel): That’s a fair point. But she showed excellent leadership potential in the interview. I think she could grow into the role quickly.

Woman (Samantha): I agree she has the potential. What do you want to do?

Man (Daniel): I’d like to bring in the HR director to get a third perspective before we make a final decision.
