Here is the ultimate hiring conundrum – you complete all of your sourcing and qualifying to end up with one candidate. That candidate was strong on the phone screen, has strong online assessments and a notable track record of sales success.
The hope here is that he will interview well and there is not reason to think he won’t. The issue is that many clients are not comfortable just interviewing one candidate . . . no matter how strong the candidate is.
This predicament is one we are in currently. The candidate is quite strong and has been excellent throughout our process. He has stood head and shoulders above the other candidates we have run through our process.
Yet, the thought of someone better out there is a seductive one. A thought that almost guarantees we will need one more strong candidate before our customer makes their hiring decision.
