Time-to-Fill

Time-to-Fill in Zoho Recruit is the number of days between when a Job Opening is created or approved and when a candidate accepts an offer. It measures how long the organisation takes to fill a vacant position and is one of the most-tracked recruiting efficiency metrics.

How Zoho Recruit Calculates Time-to-Fill

Zoho Recruit calculates Time-to-Fill by measuring the elapsed calendar days from the Job Opening creation date to the date the application status is updated to Hired or Offer Accepted. The metric is available at the individual opening level and as an aggregate across departments, job functions, or recruiters. It can be tracked in the standard reports or via custom report builds.

Using Time-to-Fill to Improve Hiring

High Time-to-Fill values point to bottlenecks in the hiring process. Analysis in Zoho Recruit can identify whether delays are happening at the sourcing stage, the interview scheduling stage, or the offer approval stage. Comparing Time-to-Fill across sourcing channels also reveals whether certain channels produce faster pipelines. Indian companies hiring in competitive technology and finance roles typically aim for a Time-to-Fill of 30 to 45 days.

Example: A technology company in Pune reviews their Zoho Recruit Time-to-Fill report for the last quarter. Engineering roles average 52 days while sales roles average 28 days. The data prompts a review of the engineering interview process, which reveals a multi-week delay between technical test completion and interview scheduling.
