Time to Hire
The elapsed time from opening a role to a candidate accepting an offer — a core measure of hiring speed and process efficiency.
Time to hire measures how long it takes from opening a role to a candidate accepting your offer. It is a direct signal of how much momentum your hiring process has — and how much runway or revenue you lose while a seat sits empty.
Onshore technical hiring in the US often runs 60–90 days. A well-run remote India hiring process, working from a pre-vetted pool, can compress this to around 18 days — the difference between shipping this quarter and next.
Faster time to hire is not about lowering the bar; it is about removing the friction of sourcing, scheduling, and coordination that adds weeks without adding signal.
