It is hard to define where the main โtime-eatersโ are: scoping the talent pool which is too vast to cover, taking too much time for scheduling the interviews, or chasing that desired culture fitโ which is too abstract to measure, or simply being indecisive.
In any case, mentioning that hospitality is a fast-paced environment even two months feels long enough for the applicant.
One thing for sure though, hiring for a fast-paced environment should not be too laid back…
If you are a job seeker it feels often the processes are at a snailโs pace not only to get hired but also to hear back from the hiring authorities.
On the other hand, if you are the one trying to hire a candidate you may feel alarmed that your perfect candidates โjump out of the hookโ before your final decision. It is a normal practice that happens when the hiring process takes too long.
To avoid these surprises it is worth remembering that hiring is a two-way street: going through the interviewing process candidates are interviewing the employers too.
When talking about the competition for the best talents, we also mean protecting the reputation of your company. Candidates who are actively looking for a job always have multiple offers on the table.
So donโt keep the intrigue of the hiring process for too long if you want your job offer to remain wanted, exciting, and relevant for your โperfect candidatesโ.
