Hiring is often the reflex when performance drops or growth stalls. But what if the issue is not a headcount problem?
Sometimes what looks like a hiring need is really a clarity problem, a leadership gap, or a broken system.
Before opening a req, ask:
Do we know what great looks like in this role?
Is the team structured for the outcomes we want?
Are we enabling success or just adding bodies?
Solve the problem, not the symptom. Smart growth is not about more people. It is about the right strategy.
