Use "The candidate's experience and the team's time" to describe the practical rule.

Step 1 of 2

This seat also sits at the center of a flat org. You work directly with recruiters, hiring managers and leadership, not through three layers of process. That means more trust and more autonomy and it means your judgment is visible. There is nowhere to hide a dropped ball and there is no one between you and the credit for a loop that ran beautifully.

When asked “why Cursor, why this role,” position yourself as someone who protects two things at once: the candidate's experience and the team's time. Then connect it to outcomes - coordination quality is a close lever in a hot market and you want to own that lever. Genuine excitement about the mission to automate coding helps, but the strategic framing of the seat is what separates you.
