No End In Sight…

I’ll bet that I could pick any 20 jobs listed on Monster and the hit rate for having a cutoff date for applications would be less than 10%.

Will Cinderella waltz into your board room after the ball is over?  

Frankly, I don’t get it.  Why leave the process open-ended?  

You don’t get good candidates?  Is your job is so uninspiring that no one applies in a reasonable time?  Or are the candidates just ‘not right’?   Then that should tell you that you have work to do and it’s time to re-think.   Waiting one more day, or week or month is not going to fix this.

#3 Corollary:  Set a date, gather your candidates and get on with the process...and btw, you might tell the candidates.
