Slow Moving Clients

In todays job market Clients that take to long to make a hiring decision are going to lose out on candidates. This of course directly effects the recruiter for obvious reasons. That is why you need to educate your clients about the current job market, because believe it or not they dont always know how tight things are. You also need to get interview commitements ahead of time from your client. If you cant get them to commit to interviewing in a timely manner you have to ask them how important filling this job really is. If this job you are trying to fill is not a priority for them you will have a hard time keeping the interview process moving.

The days of having four interview are over. If a client wants to entice a candidate to their company they need to keep in mind that the candidate is interviewing at other places. They need to keep the interview process as short as possible. Again it all comes down to education. Recruiters need to think of themselves as consultants that are providing their client not only with potential employees but advice on the hiring process. When you are looked at as a consultant they will value your opinion that much more.
