The methods
What the candidate is actually asked to do, matched to each requirement.
The part
What it is
A work sample tests the thing itself; a conversation about the thing tests the ability to talk about it. Both are legitimate, and they are not interchangeable.
Each method should trace to a requirement. Stages that test nothing in particular are the ones that stretch a process by weeks.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
Method
Work sample, structured interview, reference or exercise — named so the process can be reviewed.
Choice shared typeTests requirement
A stage that tests no stated requirement is a stage that can be removed.
Reference shared typeTime asked of candidate
The total is a real cost borne by people who mostly will not be hired.
