I've never seen a job spec outline what you need to achieve in the first 90 days of employment.

 

The work outlined if done properly, would probably take a year in my opinion. The tone of how to reads really shows what the trust culture is like.

[VisionMAT]

Good morning, 

The 90 day section is designed to give clarity around initial priorities and direction, rather than limit or define the full scope of the role. It reflects the pace and level of impact we’re aiming for with the right candidate.

We’re always open to constructive feedback, though it’s a shame the assumptions made about our culture don’t reflect the environment we’ve worked hard to build.
