"Why is this role open"?
Either they will answer directly with something solid like "We're growing the team" or they will evade it which is still a meaningful answer for you. You could probe further with questions like:
"How has the team's headcount changed over the last 18-24 months?"
Basically you're alluding to 'employee turnover' without saying it.
> How has the team's headcount changed over the last 18-24 months?"
“It didn’t change” and it would not be telling much. They are just hiring and firing X amount of people every year.
False dichotomy, the same team members could have been there for 24 months
You know that people just lie regardless of the real intent behind hiring right?
That's not how that works... Please stop being delusional
Naive to think such a question would get anything other than a plausibly ambiguous lie.
