HIREBREW PILOT BRIEF IT teams WORKFLOW TO EVALUATE From product walkthrough to deployment evidence. Choose a narrow employee journey, then test both the visible experience and the controls that must support it in a real deployment. HANDOFFS Inspect | IT + process owners Walk every participating role Follow a recruiter, candidate, interviewer and manager through the same sample journey. Capture the minimum information and actions each participant actually requires. Design | Identity + security owners Define access before live use Specify identity provider, MFA, SSO and permission expectations. Include denied-access tests and account lifecycle requirements rather than checking only successful sign-in. Connect | Integration owners Treat interfaces as individual workstreams Agree source systems, provider credentials, field mappings and error ownership. Validate each proposed exchange with sample records before relying on it operationally. Operate | Delivery + support owners Prove recovery and escalation paths Establish monitoring, backup and incident tests appropriate to the deployment. Document who responds when a workflow or external delivery fails during the pilot. PILOT SCOPE A narrow scope with meaningful failure tests. Include the devices, connectivity and locations your teams actually use. Test a Nigerian branch or field setting where relevant, not only a head-office desktop. VALIDATION CHECKLIST [ ] Denied-access and account lifecycle cases are specified [ ] Integration errors have a responsible owner [ ] Recovery and monitoring evidence is reviewed BOUNDARIES Production identity, SSO, MFA, strict permissions and operational assurance require implementation and verification; this preview does not establish them. AI EVALUATION Brew's examples are local and illustrative. A live implementation needs provider selection, approved data flows, error handling and human review; none should be inferred from a polished draft. Example prompt: Outline an evaluation checklist for a draft-assistance service, covering permitted inputs, review ownership and provider failure. NEXT STEP Assign an owner, test with sample data, record gaps and agree acceptance criteria before any live rollout. This is a planning document, not a booking, service commitment or confirmation of production readiness.
