Last week, a client called us asking why their shortlisted candidate suddenly disappeared.
The answer was simple.
Another company made an offer within 2 days.
According to multiple hiring market studies, the best candidates are typically off the market within 10 days, and many accept their first strong offer if the hiring process is slow.
Yet I've seen companies take:
5 days to schedule an interview.
Another week for feedback.
Then 3 more days to roll out an offer.
By then, they're not competing with other companies.
They're competing with time.
Hiring isn't just about finding talent anymore.
It's about moving fast enough before someone else does.
What's the longest you've seen a company take to release an offer?
