In the hiring process, companies are terrified of this ONE THING. Making the wrong hiring decision Companies are optimizing their hiring process to reduce risk. They are trying to make sure this person doesn’t: 🍊Have the wrong skills or attitude 🍊Damage company morale 🍊Take months to train and then leave for another job soon after You know what this does to the interview process? It makes it longer. More interviews. More indecision. More drawn out discussions. Meanwhile, job seekers are optimizing for TIME. They are looking to be effective with their time. Land interviews and offers. And line those opportunities up so that they can make an informed decision. These priorities between companies and job seekers are often opposing. What can you learn from this? 🍊Reduce risk for a company. Help them to clearly see your skills. Show them your work. Clarify any details about your past that may give them pause. Yes, they are slow to get back to you. But they are also terrified of making the wrong move!
