Sorry, I’m speaking positively. You accurately describe the status quo. I’m speaking about how I’d like it to be.

So when are you hiring so we can all enjoy working in a workers' utopia?

I generally never am. I believe strongly in paying a large premium to market for quality and then letting smart people be smart. I’m also perfectly comfortable hiring on gut feeling and references alone without a whole song and dance—I’ve only once had someone ghost their background check once and had to fire someone after a fuckup of a hire once more.
As a result, turnover is low and vacancies short to the point of non existence.
