Hi! What questions should I ask the Hiring Managers when I interview for a brand new role within their team?

So many good questions come to mind for this scenario-
1. I understand this is a new role on your team, what brought about the need for this position?
2. With this being a new position on your team, what accomplishments do you expect in the first 3-6 months of having it filled? In the first year?
3. What metrics/benchmarks will you use to evaluate the performance of the person in this role?
4. How long do you envision this position being needed in the organization?
5. What can you tell me about the team I’ll be working with?

And so many more! Hopefully this helped get the gears turning for you; what questions would you add to the list of possible questions?

Another great one!

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

Curious how prior experience/transferable skills plays in to comp? When decided to get out of people leadership and move to a recruiter role a year ago was brought in as an “associate” since didn’t have the required year of full cycle recruiting. An “entry level” recruiter isn’t going to make near what I was making as an experienced leader with almost 20 YOE. But have a ton of transferable skills. How much $$ does that equate to in an offer? Or how is it taken into account?

Cons: I’m worried people might think it’s too much of a time commitment.

Pros: it’s reasonably impressive. I bootstrapped a company into existence on my free time and it has an impressive list of clients now. Profitable.

I’m technically the majority share holder, not an employee of the side hustle (it’s legally a company now). And I have employees that manage the daily activities.
