How to Improve Your Speed to Hire

Improve Your Speed to Hire

It can be an incredibly risky time between identifying your preferred candidate and their start date. Nothing is guaranteed until they walk through the practice doors on their first day.

Unfortunately, finding the perfect candidate only to have them withdraw their application in favour of another position is the case for many employers regardless of industry.

Our recruitment team have often seen disappointment from employers when they were unable to secure their best candidate. While it can be a harsh reality for employers, while you wait to conduct your interviews, candidates are actively searching, applying and even considering other offers, with so many roles available candidates aren’t waiting around. Most candidates, accept the role with the quickest movement from application to their first day regardless of whether it was not their first choice.

To increase your chances of keeping candidates engaged, you must have a robust recruitment process that represents your organisation well. Competition to secure top talent is stronger than ever, so it is vital to be proactive and conduct interviews within 48 hours. The longer you wait, the more time candidates have to find other jobs, most likely with your biggest competitors.

It is important to streamline recruitment timelines to reduce any possible delays. From our experience the most common occurrences that lose candidates include, waiting for both business partners to be available to interview, waiting too long(over 48 hours) to interview the candidate, the time taken between job offers to contracts being sent or the internal approvals required before making a verbal offer, which can cause significant delays.

Our recruitment process has been curated to ensure your role is filled with your preferred candidate. After we have received your Job Listing Form, we quickly start working on finding the best candidate for your role. Once our search is complete we will send you an information package, including Synopsis, CV, Photo, Background check and Vaccination Certification.

The timing here is crucial! You may choose to contact the candidate directly or through our services to conduct an interview, we highly recommend interviewing candidates within 48 hours, from here the process needs to keep moving rapidly to the contract stage, or you may have just lost your ideal hire!

We strive to match you with your preferred candidate, but if the interview cannot be conducted within 48 hours we need to release our exclusive candidate guarantee in the best interest of our candidates and our commitment to finding them employment.

Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
