Well, interviewing competent, trustworthy people who provide valuable services to your business takes more time than server provisioning. I haven’t done the math, but I’d estimate I spend 20-25 hours of reading resumes, interviewing, and follow-ups per successful hire. And that’s multiplied by the 6-8 other people involved. Edit: Elsewhere I read coinbase said they would hire 400 support folks — so 25 hours x7 involved staff, x400=70,000 hours
