I communicate expectations before the requisition is requested. I normally send them an email and give a call mentioning they seem they’re needing to focus on other things at the moment. I then say let’s close this until you’re ready so candidates don’t become concerned that the posting has been open for an extended period of time causing red flags for possible applicants. This is when you really need to lean on the relationship that you have built with your hiring managers. You need to try your best to be the expert in this situation.

Just be like, “do you actually want help, or not?”

I want to know do they take this long to close a position? This opening was posted on 30th Sep.. It's already been 1.5 months. This is when they said the position was urgent!! 🙄
