It's been driving me crazy lately.

We'll spend days sourcing, screening, and putting together a really strong shortlist. Everyone seems happy with it...and then it just sits there waiting for feedback

A couple of days turns into a week. A week turns into two. Then everyone's surprised when the best candidates have already accepted offers somewhere else

The market just doesn't work like that anymore. Good candidates are interviewing with multiple companies. They're not going to put everything on hold while one team decides what to do

I get that everyone's busy, but lately it feels like recruiting is less about finding great talent and more about trying to outrun internal delays

Am I alone in this?😭
