Recruitment Process Duration Calculator
Estimate total recruiter hours for CV screening, interviews, and offer discussions across multi-round hiring workflows.
How Long Does Hiring Take?
Recruitment time adds up quickly across CV screening, phone screens, multi-round interviews, and offer discussions. This calculator estimates total minutes and per-recruiter workload so teams can plan capacity before opening a role.
Recruitment Time Formula
Total screening time:
$$\text{screening} = \sum (\text{minutes per method} \times \text{applicants screened})$$Interview and offer totals follow the same pattern. Divide each phase total by recruiter or interviewer count to estimate hours per person.
Example: 120 CV screens at 8 minutes each is 960 minutes (16 hours). Split across 2 recruiters, each spends 8 hours on CV review alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hiring phase usually takes the most time?
CV screening often dominates when application volume is high. Interview time grows quickly when multiple rounds include several panel members.
How many interview rounds are typical?
Two to three rounds are common for professional roles. More than four rounds can reduce candidate acceptance without improving decision quality.
Should I include skill tests in screening?
Yes. Skill screening minutes and applicant counts should be included because they consume recruiter or hiring-manager time before interviews begin.
Can this estimate recruiter headcount?
Yes. Compare per-recruiter hours with available weekly capacity to decide whether you need extra recruiters for a hiring sprint.
Does this include onboarding?
No. This tool stops at offer discussion. Onboarding, background checks, and equipment setup are separate timelines.
