Work out recruitment funnel yield instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Funnel yield tells you how many applications a hire requires, which is what drives sourcing effort and cost per hire. Stage-by-stage conversion locates the bottleneck: a low screening pass rate means poor targeting, a low interview-to-offer rate means a weak shortlist or an unclear brief.
Application to hire rate
Rate % = Hires / Applications x 100
Applications per hire
Applications per hire = Applications / Hires
Very role-dependent. Volume roles can hire from 1% of applications; specialist technical roles often need 150-250 applications per hire.
The one with the largest absolute drop-off that you can influence. Improving a stage that already converts well moves the total very little.
