How long should a hiring process take?

You’ve found a great job opportunity - but how long are you willing to go through the hiring process before looking elsewhere?

Less than 1 week – Fast and efficient! But not always realistic.
1-2 weeks – A great balance of speed and thoroughness.
3-4 weeks – Gives time for careful consideration while staying engaged.
Over a month – Works for some, but staying informed and updated is key.

A slow process could mean missing out on other offers, while waiting for the right role is important. So, we ask YOU: What’s the ideal timeframe for hiring in 2025?
