I mean, sure, it can start off exciting as you get clarity on a goal, determine your talent gap, create a position to fill it, and add the posting to the job site.

They say they’re competent in Excel, yet when you ask them about creating certain calculations for you, they admit they will need a refresher on calculations.
They say they can write awesome blogs for you, yet their English is more than broken.
Ugh.
