Unrealistic Staffing Expectations Are Costing You Time, Money, and Quality Talent
Everyone wants their staffing partner to deliver on three things:
Speed. Quality. Cost-effectiveness.
Most vendors promise all three. Almost none deliver.
In theory, you should get:
- Fast fill times
- High-quality candidates
- Competitive rates
In practice? You get:
- Quick hires at a low cost, but poor fit and high turnover.
- Quality workers at an affordable rate, but roles sit unfilled for weeks.
- Speed and quality, but only by paying a premium.
You can’t have all three at once without tradeoffs. If your staffing partner pretends otherwise, you’re already paying the price.
What the Trilemma Is Really Costing You
Bad hires from rushed placements
High turnover from poor screening
Premium costs to fix preventable issues
Operational delays from slow fills
Wasted time, training—and trust
