Most companies see a slow hire as harmless.
It is not.
Every week a critical role sits open your team is absorbing that workload. Decisions are getting delayed. Projects are stalling. And the candidate you wanted is getting closer to accepting something else.
We worked with a client recently whose VP of Sales role sat open for four months. By the time they made an offer the person they wanted had already started somewhere else. They had to restart from scratch.
Speed is a competitive advantage in hiring. Treat it like one.
