HOW DOES A LENGTHY PERSONNEL SELECTION PROCESS AFFECT YOUR COMPANY
Are you tired of your company's lengthy and exhausting recruitment process? It's not just about the time and energy you lose but also about the financial losses and the impact on your company's growth and productivity.
Every time your company has an open position, one of your existing employees is currently doing additional work, increasing the workload and stress levels. The longer this vacancy remains open, the more your company and your team lose. In today's fast-paced business development era, an excessively long recruitment process can cost your company not only time resources, but you may also miss out on the opportunity to acquire top talent, thereby hindering your company's development.
Therefore, it's essential to streamline the personnel selection process, review its stages, and act quickly to more successfully and swiftly provide your company and team with the best candidates.
HOW LONG IS TOO LONG FOR A RECRUITMENT PROCESS?
Research data indicates that 25% of candidates lose interest in a company if they don't receive any information from the company within a week. If this waiting time for candidates extends to two weeks, this figure increases to 46%. One thing is clear – communication with candidates is crucial because they expect prompt and clear communication after interviews. This doesn't mean you have to make a final decision within a week, but communication with each candidate after the selection process shouldn't be excessively long.
HOW TO SHORTEN THE PERSONNEL SELECTION PROCESS?
- Clearly define what you're looking for - Ensure that the job description matches exactly what you're looking for. Define the requirements you expect from a new employee.
- Avoid writing complicated job postings - Clearly define and understand the most essential requirements. Review the required years of experience and education to match the position's needs.
- Speed up the interview process - Review the stages of the selection process to ensure they're not overly lengthy. Candidates, without timely responses from you, may lose interest in the offer and apply for other vacancies.
- Maintain communication - Keep communication with all candidates, including those you've decided not to hire this time. Provide feedback and keep candidates informed about the selection process for future vacancies. If a candidate isn't suitable this time, it doesn't mean they won't be suitable for a future vacancy in your company.
