Summary yesterday’s meeting

Josh Schwebel <privatejosh@gmail.com> To: Matt Kyba <██████████████████ >, Teresa Carlesimo <██████████████████████████ >

Dear Matt,
I am so sorry we didn’t manage to coincide yesterday.
Teresa passed on your recommendation and justification for ████, after which we had a very careful conversation about ███████ █. vs. █████████.
The feeling between Teresa and I was that as much as we want to choose one way or another, we still have reservations about both candidates: we felt like we didn’t have enough information to make a clear decision.
Ultimately we both would feel more comfortable asking ████ ██ ██ and █████████ to join us for second interviews.
Our proposed date would be this coming Friday (July 3) at 1:30 and 2:30.
We are going to draw up a Google doc for the additional questions.
Our main concerns are (and this is an open list, so feel free to contribute to or debate these impressions):

█████████

████ ████ ██████████ █████████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ ████████ █████████

What to do??? Who to choose???
My preference is for █████████, but we need to know if ███ █████ ██ ██ ██ ███ █████ ███ ████ █████ ██ ██████ ██ ██ ██ ███ █████

So, Matt, let me know if you are able to be there for the second round of interviewing. If not, totally no worries, I know that you are dealing with a lot of work right now, but also, it is always an honour to have your thoughts and input.

Anyways, let me know what you think of all this, and thanks as always for your care and engagement in this process. 
Warmly, 
Josh

Hey there,

Thanks for the write up. I can totally see where you are coming from. Happy to do the second round of interviews with you two. Should I add questions to a doc?

Warmly,


Josh Schwebel <privatejosh@gmail.com> To: Matt Kyba <██████████████████ > Cc: Teresa Carlesimo <██████████████████████████ >

Dear Matt and Teresa,
So... as you probably saw, ████ ████ will be away until the following week.
█████████ hasn’t replied to my interview request yet. 
If I don’t hear from her today I will send her a reminder email this evening.
I have worked up a short document with rough stabs at follow-up questions. Please rework them / I think I am doing a bad job phrasing our concerns as questions. If you have any more creative ideas for how to script this, please work into the document. I don’t want it to be confrontational, but I also don’t really feel like it makes sense to ask vague leading questions, which is why I have written it the way I have. That said, let me know what you think.
thanks so much, 
*trying not to stress out about █████████’s email silence, but feeling discouraged,
Josh
