Our August blog is live.
This month we are writing about something we see happen regularly in healthcare recruiting: organizations that find the right candidate, get through interviews, reach internal alignment, and then lose the person before an offer ever goes out.
The culprit is almost never compensation or location. It is the time it takes to move from a decision to an offer, and in today's market candidates are not waiting around while internal approvals work their way through the system.
We cover what the data says about vacancy costs, where delays typically live inside the hiring process, and what the organizations that consistently close searches are doing differently.
If your team has lost a finalist in the final stretch, this one is worth a read.
Here is a scenario we see regularly. A healthcare organization identifies a strong candidate, the interviews go well, and everyone internally agrees this is the right person.
