One key realization today that all companies need to face is that it is and will continue to be a “candidate’s market” for the foreseeable future. The unemployment rate is quite low and there is a shortage of talented people in the job market.

While some companies continue to have lengthy interview processes and move slowly, other companies have adapted to a much more streamlined process so that as they identify candidates that meet their criteria, they can move quickly to make an offer and close the deal.

The times of posting jobs and getting numerous quality resumes are over for now.

Another factor is that even if you identify the person that you want to hire and move quickly, they will probably have other competing offers and will receive an attractive counteroffer from their current employer.
