An employee leaving without notice or a sudden promotion of an employee leaving a vacant position can require faster hiring, especially an emergent one. Hiring faster, possibly due to an emergent vacancy, can bottleneck the hiring process and potentially jeopardise quality.
In this case, talent quality could, more often than not, be overlooked. Nonetheless, even during such situations, quality can be maintained. But how can quality be protected?
Here are seven ways to achieve quality when hiring faster.

1. Compelling Job Descriptions
A compelling job description acts as the first impression of your company. It outlines the role and sells the opportunity to potential candidates. To craft a compelling job description, be clear and specific about the role’s responsibilities, required skills, and expectations, using concise language to avoid ambiguity. Highlight growth opportunities within the company and the potential for career advancement. Job seekers seek opportunities that encourage growth and thus may consider applying for your job opening. Moreover, it is essential to advertise company culture by including unique aspects such as your mission, values, or employee benefits. A compelling job description attracts well-qualified candidates faster, reducing time spent screening unsuitable applications.
2. Embed Work Flexibility

The modern job opening is attractive because it offers flexibility. Flexible work options can expand your talent pool and attract candidates more quickly. To embrace workplace flexibility, promote remote and hybrid work arrangements in job postings. Highlight opportunities for flexible scheduling, such as flexible hours or compressed workweeks, to appeal to a broader range of candidates. Also, virtual interviews can speed up the process and accommodate candidates in different locations, so include them in your net hiring process.
3. Understand Your Employer Brand
A strong employer brand draws candidates to your company, reducing the time and effort needed to source talent actively. Engage with candidates by responding to platform reviews and participating in online discussions relevant to your industry. A positive employer brand reduces sourcing time because candidates are more likely to seek opportunities with your company proactively.
4. Increase Hiring Team Collaboration

Miscommunication and a lack of alignment within hiring teams can cause delays, but collaboration ensures faster, more consistent decisions. To increase hiring team collaboration, clearly define roles and responsibilities. Use standardized evaluation criteria to maintain consistency when assessing candidates. Strong collaboration reduces bottlenecks, speeds up decision-making, and ensures alignment on hiring goals.
5. Automate
To leverage automation effectively, use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to automate CV screening, interview scheduling, and communication workflows. Implement AI-powered tools to match candidates to job descriptions based on skills and experience, enhancing the screening process’s efficiency. Additionally, automated online skill assessments can quickly filter qualified candidates. Automation streamlines repetitive tasks, improves efficiency, and reduces hiring time without sacrificing the candidate experience.
6. Reduce the Interview Process
Lengthy interview processes can cause candidate drop-off and delay hiring decisions. To streamline the process, limit the number of interview rounds to keep it concise, ideally no more than three rounds. Combine interviews, such as panel interviews, to reduce the required separate meetings. Set clear timelines for the hiring process and communicate them to candidates and interviewers to manage expectations effectively. Nonetheless, it is about the quality; thus, a one- to three-level interview would be appropriate for top-level roles.
In conclusion, a well-crafted job description, engaging with networks, embedding workplace flexibility, understanding and aligning your employer brand and collaborating with the hiring team increases the chances of faster hiring. Moreover, using automated systems like the ATS can quickly filter qualified candidates.
