In a boom time there are almost no regret hires, every organization basically needs estimated future capacity that is supposed to work out sometime and to maintain a delusional prognosis..

In some of the downturns that unlikely capacity keeps getting new jobs simply by having been the excess capacity at the right places.

I think we are we are deeper into a downturn where almost everyone is seriously trying to filter to capable in the near term and that is extremely hard given that you almost always need actual time at an organization so a measure of useful on day one filters everyone but returning employees.
