Many firms blame sourcing when hiring drags—but the real blocker is slow decisions. If you want to reduce time-to-hire Singapore, fix decision latency first.
The Hidden Hiring Problem No One Talks About
Most companies think they have:
❌ not enough applicants
❌ not enough talent
❌ a recruitment pipeline issue
But data shows otherwise.
According to LinkedIn Hiring Insights 2025: 73% of candidates accept the FIRST offer they receive, not the “best” offer.
And internal hiring delays are the #1 reason companies lose talent.
Here is what’s really happening:
- Too many interview rounds
- Too many decision-makers involved
- Waiting for “just one more candidate to compare”
- CEO wants to review the final shortlist
- Budget approvals stuck in a loop
A tighter decision flow will reduce time-to-hire Singapore without lowering the bar.
By the time the company decides…the candidate has already signed elsewhere.
The Cost of Slow Decision-Making
MOM and SHRM data shows:
- Every vacancy costs 30–40% of annual salary in lost productivity
- Average time-to-hire in Singapore is 39 days
- Only 1 in 4 candidates stay engaged beyond 2 weeks of silence
Slow hiring ≠ careful hiring. Slow hiring = losing talent to faster competitors.
Clear ownership and firm deadlines reduce time-to-hire Singapore and vacancy drag.
What Top Employers Do Differently
High-performing organisations have:
- Clear Ownership of Decisions
- A Fixed Hiring Timeline
- Structured Interview Scoring
- Empowered Decision Makers
Instead of this: “Let’s discuss again next week.”
They say: “We decide by Friday.”
Speed is not rushing the process. Speed is removing unnecessary approvals.
