But it's hard to quantify what someone's contribution to the company is worth. If you have to have someone to do Job X, it's either worth whatever you have to pay them, or you need to redefine either who's competent to do Job X or what Job X entails.
For example, "intelligent, mathy, detail-oriented person; no degree or prior industry experience needed" is much easier to find, and for much less money, than "CDOA with 5 years of experience using the specific software we use; bachelor's degree required" - and the odds of getting someone who will work out are about the same either way. But the second is easier to advertise and mechanically screen for.
