100 applicants and still couldn't find the right person. Here's what nobody tells you about hiring.
A couple of weeks ago, we were talking with someone who runs a team here in Hampton Roads. She had over 100 people apply for one open role. It sounds like a win but it wasn't.
Weeks went by and she was buried in resumes. Half the people she called never called back and the ones who did weren't really the right fit.
Meanwhile, her team was picking up the slack, stretched thin and the pressure to fill the role kept building.
This is the reality that most people don't talk about. The more applicants you have, the longer it takes to find your person. Taking time away from actually running your business.
At Priority Staffing, we work differently. We take the time to understand exactly who you're looking for, and bring you a small group of vetted candidates who are actually aligned with your goals.
Less back and forth, faster decisions, and the right hire.
If you're planning on hiring soon, we'd love to connect and get to know your business.
