Time to Hire is the number of days between when a candidate was added to a job and when they were hired.
Formula: Time to Hire = Hire Date − Date Candidate Was Added to the Job (in whole days, rounded).
Only candidates currently in a Hired stage are included. If a candidate has no recorded hire date, they're excluded from the calculation entirely — there's nothing to measure against.
At the job or group level, Time to Hire is the average of this number across every qualifying candidate.
Worked example
A candidate is added to a job on June 1 and moves to Hired on June 25. Their Time to Hire is 25 − 1 = 24 days. If a job has three hired candidates with Time to Hire values of 24, 40, and 32 days, the job-level average shown in the report is 32 days.
A candidate is excluded when:
They are not currently in a Hired stage.
They have no recorded hire date.
Unlike Time to Scout, Time to Hire does not have a carry-over exclusion rule — it only cares about the gap between being added and being hired, regardless of how many times the job was opened and closed in between.
