Questions & Answers about Le responsable demande si vous avez le bon profil.
How does the word si work here, and what was the original direct question?
Si means "if" or "whether" and is used to report a yes/no question. The manager's original, direct question was likely "Avez-vous le bon profil ?" or "Est-ce que vous avez le bon profil ?". To report this, you drop the question formatting (like inversion or est-ce que) and simply connect the clauses with si.
Since this is reported speech, why doesn't the tense of avez change?
Because the introductory verb (demande) is in the present tense. When the reporting verb is in the present, you keep the exact same tense the person used in their direct quote. If the reporting verb had been in the past (Il a demandé...), then you would have had to shift avez back to the imperfect (aviez).
Why is bon translated as "right" instead of "good"?
Could I say le directeur or le manager instead of le responsable?
