Strategy vs. Capacity: What’s causing your missed 2025 goals?
Hello Data & AI friends,
Are you still planning to use your same hiring model in 2026? Consider this first: it’s mid-autumn 2025, and every CEO I speak with is doing the same thing:
- planning for 2026,
- reviewing what isn’t going to get done in 2025,
- and facing a hard reality: missed goals aren’t always due to bad strategy.
Sometimes, they’re due to roles that stayed open too long, overworked teams covering too many priorities, or too few resources where it mattered most. Could this be the cause of your missed goals? To figure it out, ask yourself:
- How many of this year’s missed KPIs were rooted in unfilled roles or stretched team capacity?
- And how many of your 2026 goals, especially in AI, Compliance or Cybersecurity, depend on getting the next few hires exactly right?
Why Finding Talent is Different Today
We’re not in a normal hiring market anymore. Every transformation today is a security project. Every customer-facing system needs compliant data. And hiring today is slower and harder than it’s ever been. What worked before won’t get you to where you need to go fast enough now.
RaaS: A Hiring Model Built for Now
That’s why I designed Recruiting as a Service (RaaS). It gives you a way to keep your growth plan on track without putting all the risk on your internal HR team. It’s not a product, it’s a services structure. One that adapts to your budget, urgency, and hiring goals.
- Tier 1: For when you need to hire fast without blowing the budget, we provide focused outreach and only qualified profiles.
- Tier 2: For technical roles that need deep search or confidential hiring, we provide dedicated time from us to bring you vetted matches.
- Tier 3: For high-stakes positions, we provide multi-channel, discreet, senior search without the retainer trap.
The True Cost of Waiting
Letting a key role sit open for 2–6 months might not show up in your accounting, but it shows up in missed deadlines, team burnout, and revenue bottlenecks. As I wrote in a recent post on the hidden cost of unfilled roles, it’s often the unspoken costs that hit hardest.
With RaaS, you move faster, stay focused, and keep your teams operating at strength—even when the market shifts.
How to Get Started
You don’t need a new team. You need a different approach. RaaS plugs into your existing structure bringing clarity, speed, and budget control. It was built by a business owner, for business owners who are done wasting time on hiring that doesn’t deliver.
If you’re stuck on where to begin, drop me a line. I’d be happy to help. RaaS is faster than internal recruiting and designed to fit your budget while saving you the hidden costs that long vacancies create.
