Recently I was being ‘considered’
for a contract position.
It took the company a month
to move from
the resume stage
to the interview stage.
After two weeks,
I had already written the company off
as a prospective employer.
Many other candidates did the same.
They either got jobs elsewhere
or (as I did)
worked on projects.
Great employees are in demand,
regardless of the economy.
A slow hiring process
means you’ll be lose candidates.
These WON’T be the undesirable candidates.
If you want first choice
of the best employees,
speed up the process.
