Timeline for placements - Picking up steam

Well as any recruiter knows as the markets remain in flux the more work there is for us. Whether it be recruiting candidates whose companies just announced layoff, mergers or a buyout from the Fed or talking with companies that need to fill their vacant position quickly before they have it pulled from the budget.

So of course speed and timing in the placement process is of the essence, and that means candidates and companies who hesitate will lose out on getting the next job or making the right hire. That increased need for speed must be managed, and typically this means showing your hiring official that they stand to lose the candidates, because they are all VERY active in the market or helping your candidate understand that a quick decision if

done thoroughly are not inherently bad and that some companies can and do move quickly to get what they want.

So realize the speed of the process now and know that he who hesitates will miss out.
