Higher quality hiring decisions: Slow down permanent staffing decisions until the success of the project is known and the decisions can be made without the pressure of an urgent vacancy
The "good tool, horrible set-up" problem plagues most digital projects since the common approach of appeasing all stakeholders results in endless fields that are never used or dashboards that create more noise than clarity
