How to streamline your hiring process strategically
If you want to avoid the costs of a long recruitment process, you need to move faster to secure talent while also doing what’s needed to make solid staffing decisions.
The five strategies outlined below can help you avoid the risks of a long hiring process, while keeping your talent recruitment standards high.
4. Provide clear and frequent communication
Do your best to keep candidates informed throughout the hiring process. This will help demonstrate that you respect their time, appreciate their interest and understand you may not be the only employer they are targeting.
Set expectations with candidates about the hiring timeline from the start. If there’s a delay, a simple message or phone call can reassure them they’re still under consideration. If a candidate is a strong contender, express your enthusiasm and step up communication. This can help foster trust and keep top candidates focused on your company—instead of a competitor.
