Unless your firm is offering a solid paycheck and a 6 month severance package a la Netflix, no rational candidate is going to bet on a place that'll boot you in 3 weeks because they felt "the vibes are off". You'll be self selecting for only the most desperate candidates in the market trying to get a job.
Not once did I say that happen because the vibes are off. You’re seeing what you want to in my comment.
If you’re really off the pace and we made a bad hire, moving slowly hurts everyone.
And moving quickly lets us hire the candidates who really deserve the position, not those who game the process.
