We all know one of the biggest downfalls of a successful recruiting and hiring process is the amount of time it takes to hire someone. The time it takes to hire is sometimes completely out of line with applicant's expectations, creating a huge gap between candidates and businesses. Meanwhile, most recruiters and hiring managers don't even notice that they're taking too long. They have been fighting the symptoms of a too-long-hiring process without addressing the problem at the root. Here, we will expose some of those symptoms and offer solutions to help shorten your hiring process.

Hiring Taking Too Long?

A successful hiring process is important, but it can often take too long. Candidates become frustrated with the long wait and can be lost to better offers. Here are tips to shorten the process and keep top-notch candidates interested. Automate tasks, communicate clearly and make quick decisions to ensure a speedy hiring process.

Everyone's interview process is unique in some form or fashion. Like most, your interview process is crafted so you can get the most information out of your candidates to increase hiring confidence and make the right hiring decisions. However, there are often small problems in interview processes that could ultimately affect the success of hiring decisions. 

5 Common Interview Mistakes

A successful interview process helps you make the right hiring decisions. Common mistakes include lack of structure, quick decisions based on unconscious bias, not asking the right questions & not following up. Take the time to evaluate your process & make tweaks to ensure you hire right!
