When you don’t have a high performer among the candidates you have interviewed, you always have the option to keep looking. I understand it can be difficult to find and hire someone when few people are applying and you have no one else to interview. It’s just another challenge, and one that requires a creative recruiting solution. Bad hires are never the solution. Don’t turn a recruiting problem into a hiring problem or even a management nightmare by having to clean up the mess your bad hires create.
