How it is calculated
Fill rate = vacancies filled ÷ vacancies opened over the same period × 100%. It answers "what share of hiring demand actually got met", not "how fast" — for speed, look at Time to Hire instead.
Both numbers need to come from the same period, or the result gets skewed: a vacancy opened near the end of a period and filled early in the next one counts as "opened" but not as "filled" for the current period, understating fill rate without a real hiring problem behind it.
A low fill rate is a cue to check one of two things: either the hiring plan was unrealistic given the timeline and recruiting resources, or there's a bottleneck in the pipeline — too few candidates, slow approvals, an uncompetitive offer. Breaking it down by department and role type usually pinpoints the problem faster than one aggregate number.
