How it’s calculated

Time to hire today = days to phone call + days to decision + days for later interviews + days to accepted offer. With an AI first interview that candidates take on their own time, the first two steps are replaced by the days until candidates take the interview and the days until you decide. Later interviews and the offer take the same time as before.

Questions

How is time to hire measured?

Usually from the day a candidate applies to the day they accept an offer. Some teams measure from when the job opens instead; that’s often called time to fill.

What else shortens time to hire?

Quick feedback after each interview, fewer interviews in total, and booking the next interview before the current one ends. Our guide to reducing time to hire goes through each.
