Ask for a real example

Try asking about a difficult decision, a project that changed direction or a time they had to make an unclear brief usable. Their answer will show how they communicate under ordinary project pressure.

Discuss the collaboration rhythm

Ask how they prefer to receive feedback, surface risks and share progress. The goal is not to find one universal style. It is to decide whether your ways of working can meet each other well.

Ready when you are

Turn a good agreement into a protected payment.

Set the terms, secure the budget, and only release after approval.
