How Job Seekers Can Speed Up the Hiring Process
By Guides

If you’ve ever actively been interviewing and on the job search, you know interview processes can take up to weeks and sometimes months. This can be very time-consuming for everyone involved. As a candidate, there are strategies you can use to speed up this process.

Communication is key

Firstly, communication is key. Make sure you are constantly communicating with your interviewer and/or recruiter. If you have other offers and deadlines in the mix, make sure you communicate this. This information will help your recruiter or hiring manager know you do have a clear timeline and to expedite the process. It will also encourage the employers to get feedback and responses back to you as quickly as possible.

Be Flexible

Having flexibility when scheduling interviews is a great way to accelerate the interview process. As a candidate, it is important to be prepared to cut out some time for multiple rounds of interviews for multiple companies. This can be difficult, especially if you are also juggling a full-time job, but the quicker you communicate your availability for interviews, the more likely the interviewer can arrange time to fit into your schedule. Many employers also offer video or phone call interviews, fully eliminating travel time. Being prepared with references is another great way to be proactive in the interviewing process. Do not wait until the employer requests references, having your professional references ready ahead of time will cut out unnecessary waiting time.

Use a staffing agency

Using a recruiter or staffing agency is a huge help when it comes to job searching. They are in direct contact with companies, therefore can gain insights on your interview feedback, help to speed up the processes by following up with their direct contacts, and assist with polishing up your resume and cover letter to tailor it to the particular company or position you are applying to. If you’re looking for work, be aware that you could have to wait longer than you’d want to get an offer. You are not, however, required to remain passive. If you want to speed up the hiring process, don’t assume there is nothing you can do. The following suggestions may enable you to assist the employer in reaching a choice more swiftly
