Time to Hire Calculator

Hiring shouldn’t feel like watching paint dry. Yet for many companies, the gap between “Application received” and “Welcome aboard” stretches into months. This calculator cuts through the guesswork. Just insert two dates and see exactly how long your hiring process takes.

What Does This Calculator Measure?

Simple math, big insights. Enter when someone applied and when they actually started. The calculator gives out the time to hire in days. But here’s where it gets interesting: based on that number, you’ll see whether you’re moving at a competitive speed or losing talent to faster companies. Hiring close under a month? You’re doing great. Now your focus should be on keeping those new hires around with better onboarding (our Training Completion Rate Calculator can help there). 

Taking months and months just to fill that one position? That’s a red flag. Beyond a year? While you’ve been deliberating, competitors have hired entire teams and shipped products.

Why Should You Care About Your Time to Hire?

The best candidates vanish fast. Drag your feet and you’re left picking through whoever’s still available. Slow hiring costs more money than you think. Empty seats mean overworked teams, stalled projects, and revenue left on the table. Want to see the real cost? Check our Employee Turnover Cost Calculator to quantify what delays actually cost your bottom line.

How to Use the Calculator?

We’ve kept it simple. You need two pieces of information:

1. Date of Application: When did the candidate submit their application?
2. Date of Joining: When did they actually start working?

That’s it. No complex formulas, no spreadsheets, no guesswork. The calculator instantly shows your time to hire in days and provides personalized recommendations based on your results.

When Speed Beats Perfection

Here’s something most companies miss: you don’t need to build every hiring pipeline from scratch. Pre-vetted talent pools exist for exactly this reason. Instead of spending weeks sourcing, screening, and interviewing, tap into professionals who’ve already cleared those hurdles. Hurix Digital’s Talent as a Service connects you with qualified developers, designers, content specialists, and learning experts ready to start in days or weeks, not months. This works especially well for urgent projects, specialized skills, or when you’re scaling quickly and can’t afford the usual recruitment lag. Test roles before committing to permanent hires. Cut your time to hire by 70% or more.
