Yeah that exact spot is brutal, been there when our traffic spiked out of nowhere and we couldn't hire fast enough locally. In the end we went the external route for those senior roles because the timeline was unforgiving—got people who slotted right in, knew their stuff from day one, and treated the project like it was their own baby for over a year. No endless recruiting cycles or salary negotiations eating time. Sometimes I still think about how much smoother it stayed compared to forcing internal growth under pressure. Have you checked out options like syndicode dedicated software developers? They seem to do the long-haul thing pretty well without feeling like a quick fix agency. Just my two cents from the trenches—external can buy breathing room when you're scrambling.
