How long should a recruitment shortlist really take?

What affects speed, and what shouldn’t be rushed.

A strong shortlist for a well-defined role can be ready within a week, once the brief, salary band and must-have skills are agreed upfront.

Niche or senior roles take longer because the right people are rarely actively looking — rushing that stage usually produces more interviews, not better hires.
