Just stumbled on this thread, and it’s got me thinking about hiring in general. I run a small landscaping business, and finding good people is always a puzzle. Last year, we needed extra hands for a big project. We didn’t rush but still ended up with a mixed bag—some workers were awesome, others flaked. I’ve learned it’s less about speed and more about clear expectations upfront. No secret sauce here, just trial and error. Curious to hear more stories—anyone got tips for spotting reliable folks?

I feel you on that bakery story! Rushing hires can backfire big time. At my tech startup, we used to speed-hire devs to hit deadlines, but half didn’t mesh with our culture or lacked skills. We switched to a slower process—better vetting, more interviews—and it’s paid off. Check out https://agileengine.com/staff-augmentation/ for some cool tips on finding the right talent without rushing. It’s not perfect, but taking time to assess skills and fit has saved us from turnover headaches. Been there with a bad hire too?

I'm curious about your take on hiring fast vs. hiring smart. My small bakery needed a cashier quick last summer. We hired someone in a rush, but they didn’t vibe with the team and left after a month. Taking time to find the right fit later saved us tons of hassle. What’s your experience? Fast or smart hiring—what works for you?
