The most effective way that was recommended to avoid the "rush" that comes from a pressing need from open positions $($current and immediate demand$)$ is to:

Establish a temporary employee pool that allows you to "try before you buy" full time employees.

Increase your attention to passive candidates by building a talent pool to draw from.

Continuously advertise for jobs, whether they are open or not. That will let you see who is out there in the market even if you don't get back to them for months.

Hire more than you need. Knowing your attrition rate, companies that overhire will then account for the anticipated attrition to maintain adequate staffing at all times.
