The verb 'incontrare' (to meet) is conjugated in the future simple: io incontrerò, tu incontrerai, lui/lei incontrerà, etc.
Definite Article (la)

Relative Pronoun (che)

Sì, incontrerò la persona che assume.
Yes, I will meet the person who hires.
✕Common Mistakes
Incontrerai la persona che assumi.
Use the third‑person singular 'assume' because the subject of the relative clause is 'la persona', not 'tu'.
Incontrerà la persona che assume.
The subject is 'you' (tu), so the future form must be 'incontrerai', not the third‑person 'incontrerà'.

Cultural Tip
In Italian business settings, it is common to use a formal tone (Lei) when speaking with a potential employer. Even if you know the person, starting with a polite form shows respect. Also, Italians value personal rapport, so a brief small‑talk before getting to the business matter is expected.
