Escalation Path for Hiring Delays
A clear, agreed sequence of who to notify and when when a requisition misses a planned hiring milestone.
"I need to stop chasing people individually when a hire stalls — who do I notify and at what point?"
An escalation path is a short, time‑based decision map that specifies triggers, the person or role to notify, and the expected action when a requisition misses key milestones (sourcing, interview, offer). It ensures timely visibility and consistent accountability so delays get fixed, not just noticed.
