The job market has become a blink and miss environment. You overlooked the potential of a talented candidate, and they end up securing a good position in your competitor organization.
The main culprit behind this loss is your long drawn hiring process which can be tiring for the candidates. Imagine having to wait for call confirming their selection for more than a week? We know how unemployment is surging high as the graduates from universities pass out every year. This has made the candidates not only desperate to land a job in any organization providing them with decent perks but also impatient.
Some organizations think that a lengthy hiring process is essential to ensure quality hiring and they believe rushing might land them with under-qualified employees who will do more harm than good to their organization’s efficiency and production. But this can harm the business’s profitability that will lose time and money with every position that is not filled quickly.
