      - No need to check with the CEO first.  You can just book the meeting on his calendar.
      - Schedule the meeting directly on the CEO's calendar during a time he and the candidate are both explicitly available according to that calendar.  Available means whitespace.
      - Either use Google Calendar directly, or offer to use the CEO's 30m Calendly link.  _It is up to you, the hiring manager, to get this meeting scheduled and showing up at a time on the CEO's calendar._
-   - _If this is an engineering position_, before the CEO interview, please also be sure that the candidate has already been interviewed by Zach Wasserman.  (If not, feel free to include Zach in this final interview.)

    - The personal email the candidate uses for this calendar event is where they will receive their offer or rejection email.
    - Make sure that the agenda doc for the 30m final interview with CEO is in an outline format, located in the "Meeting notes" folder, and contains a discussion point about asking the candidate to verify that 2FA is enabled in their GitHub account.
 4. **Confirm intent to offer:** Compile feedback about the candidate into a single document and share that document with the CEO via Google Drive.  _This will be interpreted by the CEO as a signal that you are ready for him to make an offer to this candidate._
