Hiring doesn’t have to take forever. Many Nigerian employers lose great candidates simply because their hiring process is too slow or confusing. The good news? You can speed things up without lowering your standards.
Here are 5 easy ways to hire faster—while still bringing in quality people:
1. Write Clear Job Descriptions
A vague job ad leads to a flood of the wrong applicants. That slows you down.
✅ Keep your job title simple
✅ List only the key responsibilities
✅ State the required experience and qualifications clearly
✅ Mention location and salary range (if possible)
2. Use Pre-Screening Questions
Instead of reviewing every CV manually, use short screening questions to filter out bad fits early.
For example:
-
“Do you have 2+ years of customer service experience?”
-
“Are you available to start this month?”
Most platforms (like JobNet.ng) allow this feature.
Tip: These questions help you focus only on qualified candidates—saving hours of review time.
3. Schedule Interviews Quickly
The best candidates don’t wait forever. Once you’ve shortlisted someone, book their interview within 2–3 days.
📅 Use scheduling tools like Calendly or Google Calendar
📲 Send WhatsApp or SMS reminders
🤝 Offer virtual interviews when possible to speed things up
4. Give Timely Feedback
Nothing slows hiring like ghosting.
After the interview:
-
Give feedback within 48 hours
-
Even if it’s a “no,” let candidates know
-
Be honest but respectful
This keeps your brand professional—and keeps your process moving.
5. Simplify the Offer Process
Don’t let internal red tape delay your offer.
-
Prepare your offer letter in advance
-
Get approvals before the final interview
-
Make the offer quickly and clearly (email or phone)
Hiring doesn’t need to take weeks. With small changes—like better job ads, quick interviews, and fast feedback—you can hire better people, faster.
