Role Context

Role: Head of Growth
Company stage: Early SaaS company with paying customers, but uneven new-customer growth
Founder concern: The candidate may be packaging team outcomes as personal ownership, or may be using impressive metrics without a clear story behind them.

Resume Line

The resume says:

Led a growth process rebuild and increased trial-to-paid conversion by 30% in six months.

This line is worth questioning because it combines three things you need to clarify: the starting baseline, the candidate's personal ownership, and how the 30% increase was calculated.

Follow-Ups To Ask

1. What was the conversion rate before and after the change?
2. Which part did you personally own: process design, data analysis, sales follow-up, or cross-functional execution?
3. Which change had the biggest impact, and how did you know?
4. If you tried the same approach at our stage, where would it most likely fail?

What A Strong Answer Includes

A credible answer usually includes:

• The baseline value, time window, and calculation method.
• A clear split between personal decisions, team support, and executive decisions.
• Tradeoffs, such as leads they stopped pursuing or sales steps they made slower on purpose.
• Reviewable material, such as funnel screenshots, project docs, or experiment notes.

Warning Signs

Keep probing if the answer:

• Repeats "the team did it" without explaining personal ownership.
• Mentions the 30% lift without a baseline or calculation method.
• Credits one action without considering other factors.
• Talks only about wins and cannot describe failed experiments or tradeoffs.

15-minute interview plan

Minutes 0-3: Ask the candidate to restate the project context and goal.
Minutes 4-8: Probe the 30% number, baseline, and personal ownership.
Minutes 9-12: Ask for one failed experiment to see whether they were really involved.
Minutes 13-15: Ask what three data views they would inspect in their first week at your company.

Post-Interview Debrief

After the interview, paste the candidate's answers back into RoleProbe and review:

• Did they explain the baseline and calculation method?
• Did they explain what they personally decided?
• Did they provide material you can review?
• Did the answer reveal a risk for your current company stage?
