Questions

What is the difference between time to hire and time to fill?

Time to hire starts when a candidate applies and ends when they accept. Time to fill starts when the role opens. See time to hire and time to fill.

Which stage should I fix first?

The slowest one. For many teams it is scheduling and first-round screening, because calendars and phone tag add days between steps.

How is the cost of open roles estimated?

Days to fill times roles per year times your own estimate of value lost per open day. It is a planning estimate, not an accounting figure.
