Talent Trade Tidbit - Don't Wait...Make The Offer

A brief reminder to hiring authorities.

If you've got a candidate for the job in front of you that you like, you're reasonably certain they can do the job, and you know they want the job, make the offer.

You're never gonna be a hundred percent certain.

Every hiring choice is a risk.

But what I wanna tell you is that in this talent market, if I'm representing a candidate, I know that they are generally interviewing with two or three different organizations.

And if a recruiter tells you that we are in danger of losing a candidate because they're in final stages with another organization, move quickly because a bird in the hand for a candidate is better than two in the bush, meaning a job offer in front of me is better than two potential other job offers a week later.

So if you've got somebody, they can do the job, make the offer.
