HR generalist at a 300-person company and I've been trying to build proper scorecards for the most critical roles for months and keep hitting the same wall, which is that HMs either say "I'll know it when I see it" or give me criteria so broad they're basically useless to actually source against.

I've tried structured intake forms, competency frameworks, had them rate past hires, and the quality of the conversation gets better each time but I still end up with something I can't hand to a recruiter and have them go find the person. the signal is there somewhere, I just can't get it out in a form that travels.

I am not looking for another intake template. more interested in whether there's a facilitation approach or a specific question format that actually pulls real criteria out of HMs who just don't think that way naturally.

Hey all, hoping some of you have been down this road before.

I recently bought a mobile party rental company. We bring paintball, gellyball, and airsoft setups out to events. One weekend it's a kid's birthday at a public park, next weekend it's a corporate thing on private property, then maybe a venue booking after that. Different location every time, different group of people every time, all of them swinging markers around. (for some background of what we do)

I'm not naive about the risk. Welts happen, someone trips, a parent gets hit by a stray, a kid lifts their mask at the wrong moment. And because we're mobile, I can't just call a fixed field and copy what they're doing. Feels like a different animal.

So what does coverage actually look like for an op like mine? General liability insurance obviously, but what limits are people running? Does participant injury get excluded under standard GL and you need a separate rider? How are you handling the airsoft side specifically, I've heard some carriers get weird about that one. And does the mobile piece change which carriers will even talk to you?

If anyone here runs (or worked for) a mobile op, I'd love to hear what your setup looks like. Brokers worth calling, ones to avoid, gotchas you wish you'd known before your first booking, all of it useful.

Thanks in advance.
