How we improved Time-to-Hire estimations: An In-Depth Look

📢 Company Update: Estimating Time to Hire with Cutting-Edge Analytics 📈

Introduction

At TeamStation AI, we pride ourselves on our precise and efficient approach to estimating the time to hire for our clients. Leveraging our comprehensive metrics, we meticulously analyze complexity and talent pool availability to provide accurate timelines. This post will walk you through our estimation process, highlighting the key metrics and tools used across different tabs in our analytics data.

Understanding the Complexity and Availability Calculator

Complexity and Talent Pool Availability

Our estimation process begins with evaluating the role's complexity and talent availability. We categorize these factors into different levels:

• High Complexity: Roles requiring specialized skills and extensive experience.

• Medium Complexity: Positions that need a moderate level of expertise and experience.

• Low Complexity: Jobs that require basic skills and are relatively more straightforward to fill.

For talent pool availability, we consider:

• Large Talent Pool: A wide range of candidates with the necessary skills.

• Accessible Talent Pool: A decent number of candidates, but some effort is needed to find the right fit.

• Limited Talent Pool: Few candidates possess the required skills, making the search more challenging.

These assessments are combined to predict the estimated hire start and end dates, depicted through our Gantt Chart and Burndown Chart.

Job Headcount KPI

Per Headcount Goals

Our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for job headcount are pivotal in setting clear goals and minimum requirements per role. These KPIs include:

• Client Interviews per Week: A target number of interviews to be conducted with potential candidates.

• Technical Evaluations: The number of technical assessments to be performed.

• Offers Extended: The goal for extending job offers to successful candidates.

Adhering to these KPIs ensures a structured and efficient hiring process, reducing hiring time while maintaining high standards.

Contacts and Candidates’ Status

Tracking the Recruitment Pipeline

Maintaining a clear and organized status of contacts and candidates is crucial for monitoring progress. Our system tracks various stages, such as:

• Sourcing: Identifying and attracting potential candidates.

• Screening: Initial evaluation to ensure candidates meet the basic requirements.

• Technical Evaluation: In-depth assessment of candidates' technical skills.

• Client Interviews: Arranging interviews between candidates and clients.

• Offer and Acceptance: Extending job offers and managing the acceptance process.

This detailed tracking allows us to identify bottlenecks and optimize each stage of the recruitment pipeline.

Global Dashboard Data

Real-Time Analytics

Our Global Dashboard provides real-time analytics, offering insights into the overall performance of our recruitment process. Key metrics displayed on the dashboard include:

• Total Candidates Sourced: The number of candidates identified for various roles.

• Candidates in Pipeline: The number of candidates currently being processed.

• Offers Extended and Accepted: Tracking the offers made and their acceptance rates.

• Time to Hire: The average time to fill positions across different roles.

We can make data-driven decisions to improve our hiring efficiency by constantly monitoring these metrics.

Gantt Chart and KPI - Effort

Visualizing the Hiring Process

Our Gantt Chart visually represents the hiring process, showing the timeline for each task from sourcing to onboarding. The chart includes:

• Task Breakdown: Detailed tasks involved in the hiring process, such as sourcing, screening, technical evaluation, client interviews, and final onboarding.

• Start and End Dates: Specific dates for each task, ensuring a clear timeline and accountability.

• Effort Allocation: The human effort required for each task, measured in hours per headcount.

This visualization helps us manage resources effectively and ensures we stay on track to meet our hiring goals.
