Hiring Friction ยท Component 05
Process & Timing
How efficiently do candidates move through the process?
What it is
How quickly and cleanly candidates move through screening, assessment and selection.
Why it matters
Time kills deals. Every delay loses momentum, and the best candidates, to faster competitors.
Signs of high friction
- Stages that stall waiting on a decision
- Long gaps between interviews
- Offers made after the candidate has moved on
What low friction looks like
- A fast, well-defined process with bottlenecks designed out
- Candidates move through at speed
- Decisions are made with confidence
How Starcircle reduces it
Running sourcing, screening and decision as one measured process removes the hand-offs where time leaks.
