In hiring, time is of the essence! Yet, in many organizations, the interview process drags on, causing frustration for candidates and hiring teams. In my 21 years as Recruiter in the Multifamily industry, I’ve witnessed firsthand the consequences of a lengthy hiring process. An interview process that lasts longer than 3 weeks is going to cost you!

The best candidates have choices! If the process drags on and the candidate begins to lose excitement, you are going to lose the candidate to a competitor who moves faster.

????. ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????: A lengthy interview process can also create a negative candidate experience. Candidates may feel undervalued or disengaged if the process feels unnecessarily prolonged. Candidates do talk to one another and if your reputation is a six week or longer interview process, this can tarnish your employer brand and deter future applicants, impacting your ability to attract top talent. Lengthy interview processes make it virtually impossible for us to keep candidates “fired up” unless there is excellent and constant communication from the hiring authority.

Each additional interview stage requires time and resources from hiring managers, HR professionals, and other team members involved. Additionally, the longer a position remains unfilled, the more it can impact productivity and revenue generation for your company. From a recruitment perspective, I’ve learned the importance of efficiency in order to maximize ROI for both clients and candidates.
