Why Hiring Takes So Long (and What You Can Do About It)

Hiring a new employee is a big commitment, both in time and resources. In fact, according to some studies, it takes the average business about 42 days to find, interview, and hire the right candidate. That number might not sound too bad at first glance, but when you break down everything involved in the process, sourcing applicants, screening resumes, scheduling interviews, negotiating offers, and onboarding, the true cost becomes clear.

Not to mention if hiring isn’t your full-time job? That 42-day timeline can stretch into months.

For many business owners, hiring often gets pushed to the bottom of an already crowded to-do list. Between managing daily operations, overseeing budgets, and delivering results for clients or stakeholders, dedicating hours each week to recruitment just isn’t feasible. But even though hiring might feel like a time-consuming chore, bringing the right people onto your team is one of the most critical factors for long-term success.

Why Great Talent Matters

Your business is only as strong as the people behind it. A team filled with motivated, capable, and culture-aligned individuals can drive innovation, boost productivity, and elevate your customer experience. When employees are engaged and believe in your company’s mission, their energy becomes contagious, and the results speak for themselves.

But if you’re stuck with the wrong hires, those who are just showing up to collect a paycheck, it won’t be long before performance lags, morale dips, and turnover rises. And with every departure, you’re right back where you started: investing more time and money into finding someone new.

So, how can you improve your hiring process without letting it consume your schedule?
