The first hiring decision is whether to hire.
Before opening a role, prove that another person is the best intervention.

Before opening a role, prove that another person is the best intervention.
A busy team can be understaffed. It can also be badly prioritized, poorly tooled or carrying work that should not exist. Every new hire adds cost, communication paths and management load. The case for hiring should explain the durable contribution the role will make — not merely the pressure everyone feels today.
TRES PRINCIPIOS
Define the constraint in the business before naming a title.
Test automation, reprioritization, an internal move, a contractor or a narrower scope.
Salary is only part of the investment; onboarding, management and coordination matter too.
PONLO EN PRÁCTICA
State what happens if the company does not add the role in the next six months.
Separate enduring responsibilities from temporary volume and avoidable tasks.
Remove work or improve the system before adding permanent capacity.
Specify the outcomes that make the role worth its full economic and organizational cost.
