The longer a great candidate waits, the more options they have.
This is one of the biggest realities of hiring.
You find a strong candidate.
They interview.
Everyone likes them.
Then the decision takes two weeks.
Meanwhile...
Another company moves faster.
They make the offer.
And suddenly your "perfect candidate" is gone.
Speed isn't everything in hiring.
But unnecessary delays can cost you good talent.
If your hiring process has:
→ Too many approval layers
→ Slow feedback
→ Long gaps between interviews
→ Unclear decision-makers
You may not have a candidate problem.
You may have a process problem.
