If the same role keeps opening up, eventually it’s worth asking a different question.
Instead of immediately starting another search, look at what might be happening around the role. Is the scope sustainable? Are expectations aligned with reality? Does the person have the support, resources, and leadership they need to succeed?
Turnover can tell you a lot about a position, a team, and sometimes the organization itself.
Recruiting the right person matters. But if the environment they’re stepping into hasn’t changed, even a great hire may not solve the underlying problem.
Before you refill the seat, take the opportunity to understand why it keeps becoming empty. That insight might be more valuable than the search itself.
