BTW i spent 3+ mo backfilling a couple positions last year: almost $7-8K in candidate interviewing direct expenses and 50-60 wasted FTE-hours of very skilled workers for actual interviewing (and then of course onboarding, training, integrating etc etc). I am nowhere near setting travel policy in our company but I would much rather see adn approve a few grand of "unnecessary" travel expenses if it help to retain people...
