The right hire compounds. The wrong hire costs years of problems.
Hiring is one of the three decisions (with pricing and product) that shapes your business. You'll learn time-to-hire (can you fill roles in 30 days or 90?), cost-per-hire (how much are your hiring channels costing?), offer-acceptance rate (are strong candidates turning you down?), and quality of hire (are people successful in the role after 6 months?). You'll understand the math: a single bad hire in a 10-person team represents 10% of your workforce productivity loss, which is enormous.
Time to hire measures how long it takes to fill a vacancy from the moment a role is approved to the date a candidate accepts an offer. Reducing it saves money and maintains operational momentum.
