より慎重で時間をかける採用を支持する、直感に反する理由
MAY 28, 2026
どの助言も「もっと速く採用せよ」と言います。ある Chief People Officer は、特定の役割では意図的に採用を遅らせる理由と、その結果何が起きたかを説明します。
不適切な採用のコスト
The conventional wisdom in talent acquisition is that speed is everything: the best candidates are gone in ten days, so move fast or lose them. This is true for some roles. It is actively harmful for others. The cost of a poor hiring decision for a senior or highly specialised role, including severance, management time, team disruption, and the opportunity cost of the months before you accept the hire is wrong, is typically six to twelve times the monthly salary of the role. Rushing that decision to save two weeks in the process is not rational.
ペースを落とすとはどういうことか
For roles above a certain level or criticality threshold, we deliberately extend the assessment process. We include a work sample or case study that tests actual capability, not just interview performance. We run a structured debrief using calibrated scoring, not a show-of-hands around the room. We check references proactively, speaking to people who have worked with the candidate rather than only those they have chosen to list. And we are willing to restart the search if the best candidate in the pool is not genuinely right for the role.
