Roles by Team
Why Time to Hire Slipped
Two panels shared the same four interviewers all quarter.
Take-home reviews averaged nine days against a two-day target.
No sourcing support after the recruiter left in August.
Phasing
Q1
Fix the funnel
Second panel trained, review SLA to 48 hours.
Q2
Five critical roles
Platform and security first.
Q3
Backfills
Three product engineers.
Q4
Reassess
Hold if attrition stays under 10%.
The Ask
Approve eleven roles and one recruiter. Without the recruiter the same eleven take until Q3 FY27, which pushes the platform migration a full year.
