You wait to see if the employer received your resume. Then, you wait to see if you will be selected\u00a0for a job interview.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then you wait for the interview that is probably a week away. Then, on the day of the interview, you&#8217;re nervous and worried and still waiting because the interview&#8217;s at 3 p.m. I feel a lot of sympathy for your plight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong> Insights for Job Candidates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps some insight into the steps an employer takes to hire an employee will help you understand what is going on behind the scenes. It&#8217;s really not about you, for the most part.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To recruit and hire an employee usually starts with a\u00a0recruitment planning meeting\u00a0and moves on from there.\u00a0Applicant resume review\u00a0by Human Resources and\u00a0the hiring manager\u00a0is a lengthy process while you have no idea if the employer filed your resume among those of the most qualified applicants &#8211; or not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some polite employers automatically generate a candidate response form letter thanking you for submitting your resume. So, in these cases, you know the employer received it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once the HR people contact you to schedule an interview, depending on whether the organization uses a team approach &#8211; which I recommend &#8211; scheduling the interview team can take several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The wait can feel especially long after you experience your first interview as you wait to hear if they will invite you back for\u00a0a second interview\u00a0to meet more potential coworkers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a large company, sometimes bureaucracy adds layers of time to the hiring process. Plus, you might be competing with a large pool of candidates. In a state, federal, or local government position, the employer takes many steps to consider internal candidates, too, prior to considering external candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, between the start of a recruitment and\u00a0the job offer, an agency loses funding for the position.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And, organizations are becoming notorious with job searchers for failings in courtesy and thoughtfulness in\u00a0their communication with candidates. Many organizations don&#8217;t and\u00a0claim that it&#8217;s a time and resource issue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Fast Growing Companies Hire an Employee<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A lot depends on how fast the company is growing, too. In a fast growing company, the Human Resource staff members are generally swamped\u00a0with employee recruiting. At the same time, in a fast growing company, many of the work systems are broken. What worked for 75 employees no longer works at 150 or 200 employees.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, the people who are responsible to lead the charge and hire\u00a0new employees\u00a0are doubly swamped; they are creating their hiring systems and recruiting good people as fast as they can &#8211; at the same time. It&#8217;s a challenge to get back to candidates even to schedule a second interview.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>While You Wait<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What can you do in the meantime? Make sure that you send a\u00a0thank you letter\u00a0following the first interview. You will also want to keep your job search system up-to-date and moving forward. A polite phone call is often returned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And, just one time, you can send the Human Resources staff person or the hiring manager an email asking about the status of the position they are filling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In an\u00a0employee empowering and participatory work environment, the number of people involved\u00a0in a hiring decision\u00a0makes selection challenging, too. Just getting five or six people together to do an interview can take several weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, you don&#8217;t want to work for a company that does not empower and enable employees, so often the best companies take the longest. I hired an employee once who told me she had a\u00a0job offer\u00a0on the table during our first interview.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I told her truthfully that our company would not make an offer to anyone for a minimum of three weeks, so she would need to decide. She turned down the offer and waited because she really wanted the job I had available.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to be a good choice for her &#8211; we hired her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/how-employers-hire-an-employee-1917762\">www.thebalance.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes when you&#8217;re job searching, the wait at each step in\u00a0the hiring process\u00a0can feel interminable.
