It's just the way companies have to operate, and part of it being a business before anything.

This is very true. The only way this would work is if you were getting already proven talent from other companies that could handle the tasks and not have to be trained. Hiring more people and having to spend half your time training them just to get them up to speed will really effect the workflow and slow everyone down resulting in less actual work getting done.
