GRAPEVINE: NRF urges dithering employers not to miss out on top talent; plus other business news
Lengthy hiring processes deter job candidates who are increasingly in the ascendant position, recruitment experts said at the National Recruitment Federation 2020 annual conference in Dublin.
The NRF’s executives declared 2020 to be ‘the Year of the Candidate’ and urged employers to speed up their selection processes. The NRF cited a recent survey of Irish candidates in which more than a quarter of job seekers said they experienced a lengthy interview process of between two to five months, with a further 3% involved in processes taking more than five months to complete.
