Every endeavor has a process – a process with distinct steps and a flow. In recruiting that process involves stakeholders both inside and outside of your organization: corporate recruiters and HR staff, hiring managers, and outside suppliers such as job boards and background checking. Then of course don’t forget the applicants and candidates.

The flow of information and data through the steps and among the stakeholders determines the efficiency of the process. Why faster? Faster is better due to candidate obsolescence risk. Good talent does not wait around when your hiring bureaucracy moves at a crawl.

Why better? Better is better for sure. Hiring quality talent who become productive, high performing employees is the ultimate desired outcome of the process.

Why cheaper? Cutting costs in any process makes it more optimal. For example, cheaper can be accomplished through a process that mines candidates from a proprietary corporate talent pool, instead of sourcing anew for every requisition.
