In this competitive labour market, you cannot afford to make hiring decisions solely based on vacancies. While recruitment is essential in securing talent quickly, long-term performance is dependent on a more structured approach, that is, proactive talent planning. The current problem is not that hiring managers are not moving fast enough or that there is necessarily a problem with the offers you are putting forth, but trying to fill a role when the team is already experiencing the impact of the gap can make it stressful and more costly.
