What the Report Measures
The Hiring Velocity Report calculates:
- Time from job creation to the first candidate reaching a selected stage.
- Average time for all candidates to reach that stage.

These insights help you compare hiring duration across roles and identify stages where candidates spend too much time.

How Metrics Are Calculated
Time for First Candidate to Reach a Stage
Formula: Stage Date - Job Creation Date
This shows how long it took from job creation until the first candidate reached the selected stage.
Average Time for All Candidates to Reach a Stage
Formula: Total Time / Number of Candidates in the Hiring Stage
Total time is the sum of each candidate’s stage date minus the job creation date.

Troubleshooting
Hiring Velocity Looks Too High
Review job creation dates, selected stage, and candidates included in the stage.
Report Has No Data

Results Differ Across Jobs
Different roles, pipelines, candidate volume, and stage movement can create legitimate variance.
