Lock in the timeline now and start a controlled pipeline so the safe margin holds.

Why this matters: Your deadline is 6 months away, while the realistic process window is 5–6 months.

Main risk: The main risk is slippage: if approval or sourcing is delayed, the safe margin disappears quickly.

Local hiring

Local hiring is no longer just a timing problem. It may be a supply problem. Continuing the same route can add activity without reducing staffing risk.

Recommended route architecture

Short-term cover

Temp staffing or controlled agency search

Long-term stability

International pipeline

The best route is not always one option. In urgent cases, the safer architecture is a short-term bridge plus a controlled long-term pipeline.

  • Local hiring 2/5

    Best use: When local pool is active

    No-go: If already failed for 6+ weeks

  • Temp staffing 4/5

    Best use: Immediate gap

    No-go: If long-term retention is needed

  • Agency 3/5

    Best use: Parallel search

    No-go: If supply is not controlled

  • International pipeline ★ Recommended 4/5

    Best use: Stable staffing

    No-go: If deadline is under 8–10 weeks

⚠ Not recommended as the only solution if people are needed in the next 8–10 weeks.
