Average Time from Job Acceptance until Job Start

Time

Captures the duration between a candidate accepting a job offer and their official start date. A prolonged gap might reduce the enthusiasm of a new hire or provide them with opportunities to consider other offers. Quick onboarding ensures that the momentum from the hiring process carries into the employee's tenure.

Formula

(Total days from offer acceptance to start date / Number of accepted offers)

Example

A 10-day gap between acceptance and joining suggests a swift onboarding process.
