I began working in the staffing field back when Ronald Reagan was President of the U.S. That was a very long time ago but things gave not changed all that much! Employers still struggle making hiring decisions in a timely fashion causing them to risk losing great people to other offers from faster paced organizations.
Countless times, I have been told the hiring manager really likes a candidate but wants to a) see other people; b) needs to have two or three higher level managers meet the candidate; or c) simply needs time think before offering a job. At least 75% of the time, candidates either get tired of waiting and decide there is not enough interest from the company to really want to work there or they receive a better offer from a different company while waiting for the first one to materialize. Needless to say, if you really think a candidate can help your company be more successful, make the offer immediately before you lose them.
