Hiring is a Business Function. So Why Doesn’t It Have a Budget?

Most growing companies treat hiring as a reactive task... rush to fill an opening, throw up a job post, start interviewing, and hope for the best. But here's the issue:

No one’s asking what the cost of doing it poorly actually is.

We budget for marketing, for operations, for software... but hiring? It often gets the leftovers. Meanwhile, bad hires quietly drain money, time, and morale.

Hiring should be treated like any other core business function — with intention, ownership, and a budget.

When there’s no hiring strategy, companies default to knee-jerk decisions:

• Using agencies over and over without measuring ROI

• Rushing the interview process

• Skipping role clarity and structured evaluation

  
  

That’s how you lose tens of thousands of dollars without even realizing it.

💡 The companies that scale well treat hiring as a system, not a series of one-off decisions.
