How to work with a Watchmaker

Respect their process and don't shuffle them between priorities. Depth is their gift; whiplash kills it.

Hiring a Watchmaker (CS)

Ideal for precision work: estimating, QA, finance, anything where wrong is expensive. Give them data and autonomy. The secondary S means you also get reliable and consistent; interview for it directly instead of assuming.
