Are 4 Interview Rounds Really Necessary? (Spoiler Alert: They’re Not.)

Let’s be real—if your hiring process feels more like a corporate obstacle course than a streamlined decision-making system, you’re probably losing the exact people you’re hoping to hire.


Here’s why dragging out interviews is costing you talent:

1. Speed is the new currency.

We’re in an age where people can Venmo a friend 💵, order dinner 🍕, and stream a movie 🎬—all within 10 minutes. If it takes weeks and four interviews just to move forward, your candidates are already on to the next opportunity. And you’re stuck doing their job.

2. The best talent won’t wait around.

Top professionals in skilled trades aren’t sitting around twiddling their thumbs—they’re fielding offers, actively working, or already moving forward with companies who know how to hire quickly. A drawn-out process sends a clear message: “We’re not in a hurry”—and that’s not attractive to motivated talent.

3. More steps ≠ better decisions.

Sure, you want to make a smart hire. But adding more interview rounds doesn’t necessarily lead to better outcomes. In fact, it often leads to decision fatigue, candidate ghosting, and—ironically—settling for the person who was simply “available” long enough to get through your process.

4. You don’t have to sacrifice quality for speed.

Streamlined hiring and great hiring can go hand-in-hand. It’s all about being decisive, clear on what you need, and having the right recruiting partner (like us 👋) to help you find and secure top talent—fast.
