Staffing Headache

Staffing has never been a problem for me in all my past career. However, over in this present company, I have got hard time filling up the various important vacant positions.

Reason?

In the past, I make all the decisions in hiring and I have free hand to decide how I want to do my recruitment and how I can keep cost low yet effective. Whereas, over in this present company, the HR department wants to have all the say in hiring yet is unable to fill up the vacancies. The higher management is aware of the problem but not doing anything about it. It's all politics! *sigh*

So now... I am waiting for 'natural death' to occure. :(
