What is Time to Fill?

Time to fill measures the number of calendar days between opening a job requisition and a candidate accepting the offer.

Why it matters in hiring

Time to Fill comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
