Don't forget, though, that some of the Wikipedians may have decent
experience either as CEO's themselves, or in HR - or even working under
CEO's!
So there may be important insight to gain from them and their advice :)
Especially as it is likely to be a no BS assessment.
When I hire people I usually round up the final candidates and take them to
lunch with some of the current employees - and then debrief informally later
to see what they thought. This is almost always the best hiring advice you
will ever get.

Well, the way I see it it's more that it's an opportunity for the
potential Chiefs Executive to consider whether they really want to
serve our community - so best behaviour from all attendees, please!
Certainly, I wouldn't want the Board to make a decision based on a few
idle chats in a pub, but I'm sure they wouldn't.
