Many companies fixate on sourcing and interviewing when looking to improve a lagging hiring process. The truth is, the issue is rarely there. Usually, the real obstacle is further along the chain, in the screening and compliance stages. Manual processes and slow vendors bleed days, if not weeks, into the hiring timeline, unseen by most. If you want to accelerate your time-to-hire, you have to take a closer look at the entire process with an eye towards what happens between \u201cwe want to hire this candidate\u201d and \u201cthis candidate will be here next Monday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are eight steps to audit the process and streamline what you find.<\/span><\/p>\n

Map the current workflow before making changes<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before making any changes, take a close look at what happens today. What really happens, not what your process document says happens. Get out your ATS and walk through a few recent hires, step-by-step. Where were the candidates lingering? You might be surprised to learn it doesn\u2019t happen during sourcing or interview setup. The two biggest bottlenecks tend to be between the final interview and offer, and again between the acceptance of the offer and the beginning of background checks. The latter is particularly insidious because it can occur in that gray space between the recruiter, hiring manager, and whomever is responsible for initiating the screening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Draw a visual map of the process if needed, with timestamps for each leg of the journey. It\u2019ll teach you more in an hour than half a year\u2019s worth of hiring meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calculate baseline stats with hard numbers<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t fix what you haven\u2019t measured, and assumptions about the source of delay tend to be incorrect at best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pull the time-to-fill and time-to-hire numbers for your last two quarters. According to the Society for Human Resource Management\u2019s Talent Acquisition Benchmarking Report , the average time-to-fill for most organizations is 36 days, with roles requiring background checks and other pre-employment screenings taking much longer. If your average time-to-hire for screened roles is 45, 50, or 60 days, you have a serious issue in the screening process itself that\u2019s likely limiting your ability to accelerate the rest of your cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

More importantly, drill down into the numbers at each step to understand the attrition rate at each stage. A high drop-off between offer acceptance and the start date tends to indicate lengthy background checks and candidates taking other jobs in the meantime. If your offer acceptance rate is dropping at any point, a slow and unpredictable screening timeline is often an overlooked culprit. Candidates who accepted your offer are expecting to get to work, and if they don\u2019t hear from you for two or three weeks, they\u2019ll assume something has gone wrong and move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Know screening criteria for each role ahead of time, before requisition opens<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most common reason for delay in the screening process isn\u2019t a slow vendor or a compliance hold \u2013 it\u2019s sheer indecisiveness. A candidate accepts an offer, and someone has to go back to the drawing board to understand what checks need to happen \u2013 criminal check, employment verifications, drug tests \u2013 or if any are even required. This should never happen after an offer has been made.<\/span><\/p>\n

Establish what screening checks are required for each type of role, before any requisition is opened for that role. Depending on the role, a warehouse worker, finance manager, and remote software developer will require dramatically different checks. Make sure your legal and HR teams agree on these screening minimums at the job-family level, rather than on an individual-hire basis, so that there aren\u2019t any surprises when a candidate reaches the offer stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

For companies that operate in multiple states or have remote employees, consistency in screening is also critical, particularly with national criminal background checks<\/a>. County-level criminal checks only reflect a person\u2019s record in that particular county \u2013 so if someone with a theft charge from another state moves to Texas, their record will show up in Texas, but not the other way around. For roles that operate in multiple states, standard criminal background checks at the national level are preferable as a default, so that a person\u2019s entire record is visible from fingerprinting, rather than a patchwork of county checks from each state. By standardizing, you also remove decision-making from the process \u2013 if everyone gets a national criminal background check, the \u201cdo we need one?\u201d question is moot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Build FCRA compliance into the process, not around it<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfair processes are the root cause of many hiring delays. Worse, they can expose your company to potential legal issues. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act<\/a>, candidates must sign the disclosure and authorization forms before a background check can be run. If a recruiter has to ask permission to perform a background check before paperwork has been completed, your process is legally non-compliant with the FCRA, or you\u2019re wasting days of time waiting for paperwork to clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put the disclosure and authorization workflow in your ATS, and make it a mandatory step before \u201csubmit background checks\u201d becomes available. It serves to streamline your process by removing manual paperwork (did we get this signed yet?) and making sure no checks are run before permission has been granted, which is a legal necessity. This same principle applies to adverse action notifications. If a report comes back with information that would prevent a candidate from being hired, two notifications are required: a pre-adverse action notice, and a final adverse action notice. Again, make it automatic \u2013 the last thing anyone wants is a human error causing a discriminatory adverse action lawsuit. Unless your adverse action practices are blanket rejections that make no consideration of the candidate\u2019s criminal record and its applicability to the job, you should always send both notifications to the candidate in question. If your city or state has a ban-the-box law that prevents asking about a candidate\u2019s criminal history at any point during the hiring process, adverse action policies should still be in place to control how candidates are notified if their records do apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Automate the handoff between offer acceptance and screening initiation<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the easiest fix of all. In most companies, as soon as a candidate accepts an offer, another person has to manually initiate the background check. In most cases, that \u2018someone\u2019 is a recruiter who already has several other direct hires to keep track of, and the manual process is a huge source of delay. If your ATS can be programmed to automatically submit background checks as soon as an offer is accepted, do it. It\u2019ll shave days off your process, and reduce human error in the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Streamline your screening vendor, not your internal process<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You could optimize every step of your internal process, but if your screening vendor is slow, it all matters little. This is one of the most overlooked aspects of the time-to-hire equation, because the vendor is negotiated based on cost and scope, not speed. It\u2019s crucial to understand the average turnaround time of your vendor for the last six months, broken down by check type. Criminal checks, employment verifications, and education checks can have wildly different timelines, and if one is significantly slower than the others, that\u2019s your bottleneck.<\/span><\/p>\n

A slow vendor is a bottleneck that no amount of internal process optimization can fix. Likewise, if your vendor\u2019s turn time is inconsistent or steadily rising, it may be an issue you need to address before your next contract renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set a communication schedule so candidates aren\u2019t falling off the map<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The lack of communication throughout the screening process is often a major factor in why candidates take other job offers over yours. It\u2019s an easy fix \u2013 establish a baseline communication schedule with candidates right when they accept your offer. Let them know what to expect \u2013 \u201cour background check usually takes 3-5 business days, and we\u2019ll be in touch with you when it\u2019s complete.\u201d Then follow up with the \u201cstill in progress\u201d message when appropriate, so that candidates don\u2019t think you\u2019ve ghosted them. It\u2019ll reduce the number of \u201cwhere are we with my application\u201d inquiries dramatically. The same courtesy should be extended to hiring managers, who will also get frustrated if they don\u2019t hear from you. If your hiring managers need four business days to review a candidate or approve an offer, it\u2019s important to let them know that upfront.<\/span><\/p>\n

Document everything and re-audit this periodically<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A documented process is the only reliable process. If you can\u2019t explain it, write it down, and if you can\u2019t write it down, get someone who can. Ideally, you want to have someone who knows the process well enough that they can fill in for the person who created it, should the need arise. If your recruitment process is the lifeblood of your organization, it shouldn\u2019t be at the mercy of one person\u2019s ability to keep track of everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once everything is documented, schedule another audit for some time in the future. Things move, vendors change, laws change \u2013 maybe most importantly, people change, and forget. A quarterly re-audit using the same steps above will keep your process as efficient as it needs to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Structured interviews can help move things faster earlier in the process, reducing the back and forth between recruiter and hiring manager, but you should fix the issue you see first. It\u2019s entirely possible that your process is as optimized as it can be, and it\u2019s time to move on to the next bottleneck. Many organizations with accelerated recruitment processes have no secrets \u2013 they simply went through this process, fixed the most glaring issues with their process, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks that could unnecessarily slow things down.<\/span><\/p>\n
