About the Time Between Hiring Steps:

The Average Days to Pursue shows how long a candidate stays in each step before moving to the next one in the hiring process.

We do not count how long it takes to pass on (reject) candidates because that doesn’t make hiring faster.

New Candidate Timing Example: 

• On average, it takes 2.3 days before someone moves a new candidate forward. Anything less than a week is great!
• Review Request Forwarded: 
  • It takes just 0.2 days for a hiring manager to say yes after getting a review request. 
  • If it’s less than 2-3 days, that’s considered good.
• Schedule a Phone Screen: It takes 13.3 days to schedule a phone screen with a candidate.
• Schedule an Interview: It takes 7.2 days to set up an interview with a candidate.
• Average to Hire: 
  • It usually takes 16.9 days for the whole process, from when someone applies to when they get hired. 
  • This can change depending on the type of job. 
  • Jobs that pay more or need special skills may take longer.

Notes: 

• The Offers and Average to Hire sections show the average number of days from when someone applies for the job until they reach that step.
