When you start the hiring process as a hiring manager, you have some sort of expectation in your mind about who you want to hire, how many applicants you should have, and when you would like the position filled. It’s natural. However, these expectations aren’t always met because life gets in the way. Funny how that happens...Anyway, if you get through all of the nitty gritty of the hiring process and are prepared to actually hire someone (or multiple people at once aka “mass hiring”) it’s important to be prepared for the benefit of both you and those looking to work with you.
