John Jonas argues for a fast hiring process, stressing that slow hiring is costly and sends mixed signals to candidates. He emphasizes minimizing time spent on hiring, noting that in the Philippines delays can cause candidates to become anxious or accept other offers; the correct process should be quick.
First of all, if you're hiring slowly, wow, that takes a lot of time. And that's like the most daunting thing that everybody fears about hiring someone is that it's going to take a lot of time. I don't want something to take a lot of time. I want it to be fast. I want to hire fast. And I would imagine that's probably what you want. Also, you're listening to me. Everything I talk about is about spending as little time as possible for myself. So I want to talk about hire fast. On the other side of that, if you're hiring so slowly in the Philippines, it's going to send a lot of mixed messages, like they don't know. Are you actually interested? Are you just stringing them along? They're probably anxious to start working because they need the money. And if you're taking a long time, well, they're going to move on to someone else who's willing to hire them quickly. In the end, the right hiring process shouldn't take a long time. It should be pretty quick.
