More applications doesn't mean better hires

We are noticing a trend right now and one that has the potential to cause a lot of pain... Many companies are seeing more candidates apply for open roles, but more applications doesn’t always mean better hires.

The reality is that top talent is spoilt for choice. Highly sought-after candidates are not just evaluating the role or the salary - they’re also judging the experience they have during your recruitment process.

Delays in reviewing applications, slow feedback, or a lack of communication can cost you the candidates you want most. In a competitive market, timeliness and responsiveness are part of your employer brand.

Hiring managers and recruiters need to move quickly: reviewing applications promptly, keeping candidates informed, and providing timely feedback isn’t just courteous—it’s strategic. The candidates you want are out there, but they won’t wait forever.
