"While probably not the best strategy" was probably not the best caveat. I agree that this is dumb, but I also think it's the underlying reason some founders spend so much of their time hiring. >You are not likely to profit from the "recruiting arbitrage hedge" you've come up with; If I understand you correctly, I don't agree with this completely. One of the reasons outsourcing and temp companies exist is to perform recruitment that their clients are incapable of doing themselves. There is good money in recruiting arbitrage as a business plan, but in most circumstances "we'll do that if our real strategy fails" is completely useless as a hedge.
