Build the Perfect Hiring Process in 13 Steps

An organized hiring process empowers companies to discover, interview, select and make an offer to the right employee with efficiency and ease. According to Glassdoor, the average U.S. employer spends about $4,000 to hire an employee, and the process takes an average of 24 days. A hiring process that is inefficient, or one that results in no hire (or a bad hire), wastes valuable business resources and puts your company at a competitive disadvantage.

This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the hiring process and explains what to expect and how to proceed at each stage. You can develop a systematic hiring process that protects your team’s time, is respectful of applicants, and positions you to minimize the costs of turnover or failed hiring efforts—no matter the industry or the type of position you need to fill.
