Huh. That's almost the opposite of what I understood - "new incremental hires" sounds like active recruiting, but I could see "passive recruiting" falling outside that heading.
Who knows? It's HR PR, it means whatever they want it to mean.

I'm sure there's no correlation between "teams with people leaving" and "teams that are under-funded or struggling"...
