How the offer acceptance rate calculator works

Standard acceptance rate:
The calculator divides accepted offers by total offers made, then multiplies by 100.

Offer decline rate:
Declined offers are divided by total offers made to show what percentage of offers were rejected.

Recruiting funnel yield:
The calculator compares applicants, interviews, finalists, offers, accepted offers, and starts.

Lost offer cost:
The calculator estimates the cost of declined offers using offer cost, vacancy delay, and daily vacancy cost.
