Time-to-hire

Last updated

In people analytics, time-to-hire (T2H) refers to the time between a job candidate applying and accepting an offer. [1] [2] [3]

In a competitive job market, time-to-hire may be prolonged as candidates mull their options. [4]

In 2019, the United States Office of Personnel Management started requiring time-to-hire metrics for all new federal hires. [5]
