The Hidden Costs of a Lengthy Hiring Process

Why Delays in Recruitment Are Costing You More Than You Think

A slow hiring process doesn’t just frustrate candidates—it costs your company time, money, and top talent. From lost productivity to damaged employer branding, the hidden costs of delays can add up quickly. Here’s how a lengthy hiring process hurts your business and what you can do to fix it.

1. Increased Hiring Costs

The Problem:
Every day a position remains open, your company incurs additional costs. These include:

• Job board fees: Posting and reposting roles on multiple platforms.
• Recruiter salaries: Hours spent manually screening resumes and scheduling interviews.
• Agency fees: External recruiters charge 20-30% of a hire’s salary.

The Solution:

• Automate resume screening: Use TechKluster Hire to filter resumes in seconds, saving hours of manual work.
• Streamline job postings: Post roles across 100+ platforms with a single click.

Real-Life Example:
A mid-sized tech company reduced their cost-per-hire by 25% after automating their hiring process with TechKluster Hire.

2. Loss of Top Talent

The Problem:
Top candidates are off the market in 10 days (Glassdoor). If your hiring process takes weeks, they’ll accept offers elsewhere.

The Solution:

• AI-powered matching: TechKluster Hire instantly ranks candidates based on skills and experience, ensuring faster decision-making.
• Automated scheduling: Let candidates self-book interviews, eliminating back-and-forth emails.

Pro Tip:
Set a 14-day hiring cycle as a company-wide goal. Companies that do this see 40% higher offer acceptance rates.
