• Your head of marketing just told you they are resigning, and gave two or three weeks notice.  You need to:
  
  • Write a job description
  • Hire a recruiting firm (or advertise the position)
  • Screen résumé's
  • Conduct phone interviews
  • Narrow the field to a few finalists
  • Bring them in for one or two rounds of interviews
  • Make an offer and negotiate
  • Pick a starting date

If you're lucky, this process will take 3 months.  If you're not lucky, it can take 6 months, or longer.  Sometimes close to a year. Or more.

In the meantime, while you have this opening, your Marketing Department is without leadership and your bottom line is likely to suffer.  And, you may start to lose Marketing Staff if they feel rudderless. When your new hire does arrive, he/she takes a month or more to come up to speed.
