Lateral hiring is at record levels. Business cases are more rigorous than they have ever been, and the investment in finding and landing senior talent has never been higher. And yet integration outcomes remain stubbornly inconsistent. The hire is getting more sophisticated but what happens next often is not.

Pushback from leadership is often framed as resistance to HR. In practice, it usually points to something else. It signals that HR is not yet shaping decisions at the level it could be.
