A recent poll, highlighted in the USA Today, caught my eye. If you missed the poll, it summarized results of a survey completed by the recruiting firm, MRI Network. The poll asked for "the number of interviews you had within one company before a decision was made." 31% of roughly 900 people said two interviews and 37% said three interviews. Over 20% indicated 4 or more interviews. Now, I think it is simply a waste of time to have four or more interviews for one position. It's important to develop an interviewing system that allows the interviewer to receive the most information in the shortest period of time. There are ways to simplify the interview process and interview only those candidates that are truly compatible. In addition, a strong pre-hire assessment process will provide more than enough intomation to help solidify the decision.
