Most companies think their hiring process is thorough. It's just indecisive with better branding.
Odysseus’s return took ten years because delay kept compounding: detours, setbacks, and long stretches in which he could not move forward. Most hiring processes do not face mythical obstacles, but they often accumulate smaller delays in much the same way.
Extra rounds get called "rigor." Slow approvals get called "being careful." Nobody's lying, exactly. They've just mistaken hesitation for diligence.
The fix isn't hiring faster. It's being honest about which steps are protecting the decision, and which ones are just protecting whoever signs off on it.
That's the gap VBeyond closes for the companies we work with.
