Why is the Hiring Process So Slow? Are employers realistic about the availability of talent?

We love this articleby Suzanne Lucas. It touches on the subject matter of hiring talent in the current market place. The article gives strong advice to employers with the message being not to set your expectations too high for recruiting new talent. The article is supported in an opinionated blog  by Joe Lite, a blog writer for The Wall Street Journal Online.

With expectations for new talent seemingly increasing, here's our advice for today’s hiring managers:

If you’re in the position of hiring someone new, don’t get caught up with the idea that because it’s a tight market you can always find someone better or for less money. Remember that you have work that someone needs to do, and it’s not getting done as long as the position is vacant. (Or it is getting done by your already overworked staff who are now feeling like looking for new jobs, themselves.) Hire someone who can do the job. Don’t wait for perfection. It’s not out there.
