Yes! You're right! That would be way too long for an interview loop. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in the article.

The candidate and I first met long before they were interested in interviewing. They had potential and I got to know them so that when they were interested in interviewing they'd reach out. Once they decided to interview, we made that happen as quickly as schedules allowed!

Hope that clarification helps! Thanks for the note!
