When you have a tough job to fill, a skill set that is in high demand and with a shortage of qualified people, you have to move when you can.  Too many times we see hiring managers hold to a set process of finding 3 candidates to interview before moving forward or something similar.

It’s great to have a good hiring process that works for you, but you have to think about the current situation and do what is best for business.  Candidates with backgrounds and skills that are in short supply are in high demand so you can bet that someone else is looking for them too.  The risk of losing them is high and the risk increases with every tick of the clock.  Companies who move quickly in these situations are going to get a greater share of the top talent.
