After an interview I usually follow up with both the employer and the candidate to debrief and find out how the interview went. My first question is usually to ask how long the interview went.

Where are all the great candidates? (Hint: They’re everywhere)

Why is it that days, weeks, sometimes months go by and critical job openings remain unfilled. Where are all the great candidates?

I’ll let you in on a little secret.

They’re right under your nose. Great candidates are everywhere. They’re just waiting to hear from you and they are hoping for an interview, waiting for an offer and they would love to give you a start date. In fact, they’re dying to hear from you. It just may be your fault that the position has been open for so long.
