Top risks

What could slow progress

Agency Overdependence

high

Agency usage appears structurally high rather than exceptional.

Recruitment cost may be masking problems in direct attraction, process speed, or manager ownership.

Weak Interviewing

medium

Interview consistency is not strong enough for predictable hiring decisions.

Decision quality becomes harder to defend and successful hiring depends too much on individual managers.
