Calculate average time to hire, candidate cycle time, recruiting stage delays, application-to-offer timing, offer-to-acceptance timing, hiring speed, and recruiting efficiency. Use this HR calculator to measure how long it takes to hire candidates once they enter your recruiting process.
Standard time to hire:
The calculator counts the days between the candidate application or sourcing date and the offer acceptance date.
Stage-based time to hire:
The calculator adds screening, interview, assessment, decision, offer, and acceptance days.
Average time to hire:
Total hire days across all hires are divided by the number of hires.
Delay cost:
The calculator estimates vacancy cost and recruiter labor cost tied to hiring delays.
A time to hire calculator helps HR teams, recruiters, and hiring managers measure candidate speed through the hiring process.
It can help compare time to hire, average time to hire, stage delays, target gaps, open role impact, vacancy cost, recruiter cost, and recruiting efficiency.
Your result shows estimated time to hire, average time to hire, stage-based hiring time, target gap, delay days, vacancy cost, recruiter cost, total delay cost, and the longest recruiting stage. These figures are estimates based on the values you enter.
Time to hire measures how long it takes to move a candidate from application or sourcing to offer acceptance.
Subtract the candidate application or sourcing date from the offer acceptance date.
Time to hire measures the candidate journey. Time to fill measures how long a role is open, usually from job approval or posting to accepted offer.
Average time to hire is total hire days divided by the number of hires during a reporting period.
A shorter time to hire can improve candidate experience, reduce vacancy cost, and help teams fill roles before top candidates accept other offers.
