One way to shorten your hiring process without taking shortcuts is by promoting from within your organization. Did you know that 50% of all jobs are filled internally before ever being introduced to the public? Promoting internally in your business should be your company’s first option when a position opens up.
Create a job description that helps human resources or your staffing agency identify the best candidates to send over to you. A well-written job description will prevent you from denying multiple candidates due to not having the right qualifications, saving time and money.
According to the Jobvite 2019 Recruiting Benchmark Report, almost 50% of all applications come from Job Boards, followed by 35% from Internal Career Sites. Choose the right one based on your needs.
According to Fortune, 65% of U.S. workers currently employed are looking for a new job. Having flexible interviews, such as interviews in the early morning or after 5 pm, will benefit you immensely in the long run.
A lengthy hiring process might dissuade job seekers from continuing their applications. Additionally, conducting more than two interviews is unnecessary and excessive unless, of course, they’re applying for more senior positions.
Always be on the lookout for top talents. Recruiting constantly goes beyond the matter of just filling job vacancies within periods. Recruiting constantly involves connecting with possible potential candidates and building relationships and networks, which can help companies seamlessly seek out applicants in the future.
Delaying a job interview is one of the most common mistakes employers make that extends the hiring process. Waiting over three days to make a job offer will increase the chance they already accepted a job offer from another company.
