Why? Hiring is the single most important thing a company does. It makes sense to invest resources in it. Every company that doesn't is gambling that every candidate that can get through a short interview is about equal.
- wolco 8y agoNot hiring is a huge gamble as well. Waiting an extra few months can force other employees to quit if the workload is being put on there plate. If you are asking too much of candidates many will dropout as they get hired somewhere elsewhere quickier. The longer you take the quality of the pool gets reduced. Hiring is important. Keep employees are probaby more immportant. Sales are in my opinion the most important. Taking a gamble can lead to 10/10 candidate hire. Chances are low it will lead to a 1/10 candidate. The longer they play it safe the lower average peak in the candidate pool. If the process takes 3 months you will be lucky to get a b level guy unless your company is special (google/apple/hot startup). The A level guys will move on. Someone with three offers in hand will not waste an unpaid day unless you can offer something special.
- tormeh 8y agoI agree that keeping employees is important. Let's just expand the thesis to being "HR is the most important thing a company does". > Sales are in my opinion the most important. And how does a company get good salespeople? Hiring well. Speed is a part of hiring well.
