Your average process takes 38 days — 35% longer than the 28-day industry standard. Top candidates are typically running 3–5 processes simultaneously. A 21-day SLA would move you from average to top-quartile speed.
Only 17% of rejected candidates received useful, specific feedback. The industry benchmark is 27%. A simple template — covering what was strong, what was missing, and encouraging reapplication — would immediately move this metric.
33% of candidates noted that salary information was unclear during the process. Publishing ranges upfront reduces late-stage dropouts, attracts better-qualified applicants, and signals transparency.
