（2018年5月23日，/HRoot.com/）罗致恒富的调查显示，中国香港求职者表示，如果招聘流程过长，他们会对这个职位不再感兴趣。

调查表明，由于首选的雇主花费了太长时间做出雇佣决定，72%的求职者接受了他们第二选择的工作邀请。超过一半（54%）的候选人在面试后等待了超过一个月的时间才收到回复，27%的求职者表示他们等待的时间超过6周，21%的求职者甚至等待超过了2个月。

这与候选人对于招聘过程的预期形成了对比。88%的求职者认为从最初申请至最后收到录用通知，最长花费一个月是合理的。仅有12%的求职者表示可以接受等待时间超过一个月。

“中国香港公司正处于一场争夺人才的激烈战争中，他们竞相寻找具备合适技能的人才。”为了推动公司业务的发展，由于招聘流程过长而失去潜在员工是雇主们不能犯的错误。”罗致恒富香港董事总经理Adam Johnston表示。

“高素质求职者知道他们是受欢迎的，所以众多中国香港求职者由于等待时间过长而拒绝他们理想工作这一事实是令人担忧的。” Johnston说道，“招聘过程中缩小候选人范围的过程可能非常耗时，然而，如果招聘经理不能使他们的招聘流程符合如今求职者的期待，他们将面临可能失去市场上最优秀人才的风险。”

HONG KONG – MAJORITY OF JOBSEEKERS TURN DOWN THEIR FIRST-CHOICE JOBS BECAUSE HIRING PROCESS ‘TAKES TOO LONG’
(May.23, 2018, /staffingindustry.com/) Hong Kong jobseekers say they lose interest in a role if the hiring process takes too long, according to research from Robert Half.

The research showed that 72% of jobseekers have accepted a second-choice job offer because their preferred employer took too long to make a hiring decision. More than half, or 54%, of candidates have waited longer than a month to hear back about a role for which they have interviewed, while 27% have waited longer than six weeks, and 21% even over two months.

This contrasts with candidates’ expectations of the hiring process as 88% believe it is reasonable to wait up to one month from initial application to getting a final offer, while 12% think it’s acceptable to wait for over a month.

“Hong Kong companies are in a fierce war for talent and are competing to find the right skills and talent. To take their business forward, employers cannot afford to alienate potential workers with long drawn-out hiring processes,” Adam Johnston, Managing Director of Robert Half Hong Kong, said.

“High-calibre jobseekers know they are in demand, so the fact that so many of Hong Kong’s jobseekers are turning down their dream job because they’ve been left waiting for so long is concerning,” Johnston said. “The process of narrowing down candidates during the hiring process can be time-consuming. However, if hiring mangers fail to adapt their recruitment process to the expectations of today’s candidates, they will increase the risk of losing out on the best talent on the market.”
