PRACTICAL TIPS
"A good recruiter can fill any vacancy quickly."
It’s a simple phrase, but this exact mindset costs companies millions.
Every time a position takes too long to fill, the first thing companies do is swap out the recruiter or the agency. What they rarely do is look at their own internal processes.
Yet, about 70% (if not more) of hiring speed depends not on the recruiter, but on the company's internal system: how clearly the role profile is defined, how fast the hiring manager provides feedback on CVs, how many interview stages there are, who makes the final call, and how many people are involved in the process overall.
In our practice at IT Camp, we’ve seen vacancies that supposedly "couldn't be filled for six months" - when in reality, candidates were simply left waiting 2 to 3 weeks for feedback after every single stage.
But when it comes to recruitment, the market waits for no one. People looking for a job are actually looking for a job now. The company that responds faster and extends the offer quicker is the one that takes the prize 😉
The Reality Check
A recruiter finds the talent. But the speed and quality of hiring is always a shared responsibility between the business and the recruitment team.
Before you rush to change your agency, do the math: on average, how many days does a candidate spend waiting for a response after each interview stage inside your company?
