How it is calculated
Average Time to Hire = total days across all closed vacancies ÷ number of vacancies closed. A single vacancy tells you little on its own — closing times vary a lot from role to role, so the figure only makes sense as an average over a group of similar vacancies for a period.
There's no single standard for what counts as "day 0" — opening the vacancy, starting the active search, or first candidate contact. What matters is using the same starting point every time, otherwise the metric becomes incomparable with itself over time.
Time to Hire is best tracked separately for groups of similarly complex roles — high-volume entry-level hires and rare specialist roles close on very different timelines, and one company-wide number will mislead just as it does with Cost per Hire.
