I’d ask if they’re using GoodTime/Prelude with Greenhouse and whether they have a day-before confirmation template with parking/transit details - adding a simple SMS with a map link and front-desk instructions cut our late arrivals by half. Also clarify weekly scheduling volume and reschedule/no‑show policy so you know how sustainable the pace is.

When I ran on-sites, the biggest unlock was a ‘plan B’ bench in Slack — pre-cleared interviewers you can swap in within 5 minutes when someone gets pulled into a fire drill, because calendars lie. Also build a tiny on-site kit (printed schedule, guest Wi‑Fi, parking validation, water) and send a two-sentence “what to expect tomorrow” email by 4pm the day before — small touch, big NPS.
