A few more suggestions from a candidate perspective. Try to have something concrete to tell the candidate about the remaining steps and timeframe for the rest of the process. It's frustrating to be wondering if they haven't called because they went with someone else or if they actually expected to take that long all along. You also don't want the candidate to be caught out not ready for the process moving to reference checks and offers if you move quicker than they expected.

If you need to have multiple rounds of interviews, do your best to only have one (or none) in person. If someone is currently employed, there's only so many times they can sneak out from their current job to do interviews and yours is probably not the only one they're interviewing. If they're not employed, getting dressed up for and commuting to multiple rounds of interviews may be a financial strain
