Measure Hiring Velocity

Time to Fill is the dedicated analytics engine for tracking how long it takes to move a candidate from application to offer acceptance. For HR Managers, this metric reveals bottlenecks in your recruitment pipeline and highlights inefficiencies in time-to-hire processes. By aggregating data across all open requisitions, the system calculates average days to fill while breaking down variance by department, role level, or sourcing channel. This granular visibility allows leadership to identify which stages of the hiring cycle are consuming the most time and where process improvements can yield immediate results. Unlike general HR dashboards that show headcount or turnover, Time to Fill focuses exclusively on the duration required to secure talent, providing a clear picture of operational speed and market competitiveness.

The system automatically calculates time-to-fill by comparing the date a requisition is created against the date a candidate accepts an offer. It aggregates these timestamps into daily, weekly, and monthly averages, ensuring that trends are visible without manual data entry.

Users can filter results by specific criteria such as job function, location, or hiring manager to pinpoint departments experiencing slower recruitment cycles compared to organizational benchmarks.

Historical tracking allows HR Managers to measure the impact of new hiring tools or process changes over time, providing concrete evidence of efficiency gains or areas requiring intervention.
