The prompt
A fictional IT services firm in Bengaluru has 10,000 staff and has won contracts that need 11,000 by the end of the year. Attrition is 15 percent a year. Each recruiter fills 8 roles a month. Filling a role takes about 45 days, new hires often serve a 60 day notice period at their old employer, and they then need 30 days of training before they can work on a client project (illustrative numbers). How many people must it hire, how many recruiters does it need, and how early must hiring start?
