speed wins in hiring
bad ceo just lost the best person for the job.
took a week to decide.
by then she'd already started somewhere else.
classic move.
companies think candidates wait around while they "compare options."
reality check.
good people interview at 3 places minimum.
first company to say yes wins.
second place gets nothing.
happens every single day.
hiring managers love committee meetings.
love debating qualifications.
love asking for "just one more round."
meanwhile the person they want is accepting another offer.
speed beats perfection in talent acquisition.
always has.
always will.
