Every week on bench: $12K per seat, minimum
Bersin clocks professional services at 47 days to fill. Top staffing firms ship in 7 to 14. At $300/hr blended billable, every week you're late is $12K walking out per open seat. Month-end math does the rest.
PwC is freezing. McKinsey is cutting 10%. You still can't fill the AI engineer seat.
Generalists are getting let go. AI-engineer seats are on fire. You're asked to brake and floor it in the same meeting. One bad hire at this moment and you're the one on the cuts list next quarter.
Your case-interview tail already eats 30 days
Four to six case rounds. 30 to 35 days before an offer is out. If your sourcing and screening add another six weeks on top, the seat was dark for two months before anyone said yes.
