Ever lost the perfect candidate and couldn’t quite explain why?
Spoiler: it wasn’t bad luck. It was avoidable error.
In talent acquisition, small mistakes cost big.
The real loss isn’t the candidate — it’s your credibility as an employer.
Mistake 1: unclear profile.
If you don’t define what you need, you’ll attract everyone… except the right one.
Mistake 2: endless processes.
Top candidates don’t wait. Silence is rejection. Communicate or lose them.
Mistake 3: unconscious bias.
It filters out diversity and potential. Train your team and structure your interviews.
And please — don’t ghost candidates.
Transparency builds trust; silence destroys it.
Conclusion: great hiring isn’t about luck; it’s about design.
Plan, measure, improve — and treat candidates as your most valuable clients.
