Are you saying that the mechanism does not exist or are you saying that it's not pushed into critical regions all that often? I have absolute no idea what you're talking about now. everybody leaves except the terminally greedy People that stay at their jobs are "terminally greedy"? They are going to die from greed?

Everybody leaves during recruitment . That's what we are talking about, in particular the subset of candidates who already have a job. Make it a two year process, but at the end there's the promise of truly exceptional compensation, and you can take it as an absolute given that nobody will be left who would not do anything for money.

It's pretty annoying how the article is quite both-sides-ism about the whole thing. Four months to receive an offer? Come on. You get the vast majority of the signal for a candidate in the interview process itself. All of the backoffice deliberations don't require months of meetings. It's just more okay that it gets dragged out because the market is lousy. Call it what it is: indecision and inefficiency.

Four months for an offer sounds a lot more like a terrible salary negotiation tactic. The longer a candidate will wait for an offer, the less money they might be willing to accept. It's definitely not going to get you the best candidate, but it might get you the cheapest one.

that's a whole quarter + a month where you didn't have a body and stuff didn't get done. maybe they'd be slow at first and a burden until they're up to speed, but that means you start that process sooner.

they either needed the exact, perfect candidate, or else they wasted a lot of time
