Understanding the dangers of a drawn-out hiring process
Summary
In this hyper-competitive landscape where job opportunities far exceed the talent pool available, being flexible and nimble in the hiring process can help companies stand out, according to the solutions firm, which specializes in technology and staffing services. “Companies have to be flexible, adhere to what their top candidates are looking for and move quickly.” One of the elements driving that dynamic is the high demand for skilled employees, particularly in technology, finance and accounting. In addition to the high-demand, low-supply dynamic brought on by the Great Resignation, pandemic-spurred advancements in technology and remote work are also changing the hiring game. Otherwise, candidates could be off the market before you hit your second round.” Companies can look for ways to combine parts of the process, such as completing a technical screen during an initial interview instead of spacing them out, said Joley Mastanduno, a Kforce region senior vice president in Florida and Texas. “They feel important by how they’re spoken to and how they’re treated in the interview, not by how long it’s drawn out.” Kforce Inc. is a solutions firm that specializes in technology and other professional staffing services.
