RECOMMENDATIONSource nationally; screen for relocation. The Boulder-only constraint reduces the pool by ~93% at every score tier. Denver has 35 candidates total across all scores — likely fewer than 10 at ≥45% with 3+ yr tenure. Relax the tenure preference and source nationally. The tenure preference is the #1 calibration conversation to have with Priya and Jordan.

THE GAP What the Data Says
KEY INSIGHTMean score of 36% reflects pool quality, not scoring failure. The broad Exa queries captured many university recruiters, junior sourcers, and non-tech profiles (218 scored below 30%). The 67 candidates at ≥75% are genuine fits — Twilio, Airbnb, Aurora, Spencer Stuart, Intuit. The universal breaker appears to be VP+ Executive Search Closure combined with Technology Sector Depth — most low scorers fail both. Screening instruction: verify VP+ closures in tech before first call.
