Why is the Head of Engineering pipeline slow?
Lantern
Worked for 11s · 4 tools · read 165 applications, 2 debriefs, your taste
Most of the delay is at application review: 3 of 41 applicants match your taste, against 9 of 44 for your last engineering role.
The hardest requirement to meet is "built the function from zero". Two debriefs confirm the team still wants it.
Widening sourcing to Series A operators who later ran a team adds 18 people who meet it. Want me to start that search?

In practice · Hiring a Head of Engineering

One debrief. Shared context for every agent.

The hiring manager says it once in a debrief. Lantern proposes the change to your hiring taste, a person approves it, and every agent works from the new taste.

Your ATS stays.

Lantern connects to the system you already run and keeps it the record of what happened.

Your team decides.

Agents bring evidence and propose changes. A person approves every change to your hiring taste.

Every hire teaches the next search.

What one interview teaches reaches the next search, review and interview.

Why Lantern

Two models behind every agent.

Your hiring system is a database. It knows nothing about the outside world and nothing about who your company actually needs. Lantern adds both.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW

A debrief that informs the next search

Your team is hiring a Head of Engineering and agrees that personally building a function matters more than managing an established one.

  1. Record the hiring manager’s feedback and the evidence behind it.
  2. Have the team approve the change to the hiring bar.
  3. Use that shared context in sourcing, application review, interviews and reporting.

Your team decides whether the evidence meets the bar. The connected workflow keeps that decision in context.

This example explains the workflow; it is not a customer result or a live product output.
