The art, science, and labor of recruiting: Making the decision and following up

The following must be addressed internally to ensure a smooth(er) recruiting process:

• Who is responsible for making the hiring decision? Is it a single individual with others’ input or a team decision? 

• Who needs to provide input to the decision?

• When is the decision needed?

• How and who will contact unsuccessful candidates?

• Once the decision is made, who should be informed?
