A requisition tells you someone is missing.
It doesn’t tell you what the business actually needs.
Before opening a critical search, leadership should ask:
* What outcome will this role own?
* What decisions will this person make?
* What should come off someone else’s plate?
If those answers aren’t clear, recruiting is being asked to solve an organizational design problem with a job posting.
As skills-based hiring grows and AI reshapes roles, hiring should reflect where the business is going, not simply replace who left.
Don’t replace the person. Define what the business needs next.
