Exactly! I'm interviewing with 2 companies and they both had weeks of interviews, and both finally decide to move forward, but take over a week to get the offers together. One has the gall to tell me that they require a response in 48 hours and speaks of internal SLA's, while the regional president of the other company calls me to apologize about how long their process takes and how thrilled they would be if I joined their company. It's a thought provoking article. I don't think recruitment policies and processes are given due consideration as a competitive issue by many business owners and managers. I'd expect that the impact of a team that is relatively less confident, less skilled in negotiation and potentially even less financially stable than their competitors would be very substantial.
