    Trade-in: Why We Fired The Star Staffer And Got Two Freelancers

    We were dazzled by the resume. Our new staffer worked for the biggest names and the coolest brands. So why wasn't the work getting done? We fell in love the idea of this person, but talent is only as good as the deadline. In the end, we traded down, and have never looked back.
