Every wonder why the hiring process tends to take beyond forever? This article by the Evil HR Lady does a great job of explaining the factors behind that reality.
Two more reasons I'd like to add based on my own recruiting experience:
1. Managers who take forever to choose candidates for interviews
I have had managers take weeks to select which candidates they want to interview. To me, the length of time it takes you to complete this step is directly proportional to how badly you really need to fill the position.
2. Managers who take forever to select their chosen candidate from the interviews
Our normal process is at the conclusion of the last interview for a position, the interview team discusses all the interviewees and identifies up to the top 3 candidates. However, sometimes hiring managers take forever to make this decision. We have a position for which interviews occurred a month ago, and there has still not been a decision made. It is maddening, and to me a indication that the hiring manager really doesn't need to fill this spot.
