Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate interview to hire ratio?

Divide total interviews by total hires. For example, 160 interviews and 20 hires equals 8 interviews per hire.

What does a high interview to hire ratio mean?

A high ratio may mean the team is interviewing too many candidates, screening is weak, requirements are unclear, or the candidate pipeline does not match the role.

What does a low interview to hire ratio mean?

A low ratio may mean the team is sourcing strong candidates, screening well, or hiring from a focused pipeline. It may also mean the funnel is too narrow if candidate quality is not consistent.

Is interview conversion rate the same thing?

No. Interview-to-hire ratio shows interviews per hire. Interview conversion rate shows the percentage of interviews that become hires.

Why calculate interview cost per hire?

Interview cost per hire helps show the labor and assessment cost required to convert interviewed candidates into hires.
