💡 Is your quest for a "unicorn" candidate holding your business back? 💼 In today’s market, waiting for the perfect hire isn’t just impractical—it’s counterproductive. Why waste time, resources and budget chasing unrealistic expectations when an average hire can get the job done (and done well)? 📉 Let’s be real: > Salaries are down. > Bonuses tied to company performance? Less motivating than ever. > Office requirements? A major turn-off for top talent. It’s time to rethink what good enough means. Don’t let perfection delay progress.
