Interview-to-Offer Rate
Percentage of candidates interviewed who receive a job offer
What is Interview-to-Offer Rate?
Interview-to-offer rate is the percentage of interviewed candidates who receive an offer. It shows how well earlier screening identifies suitable people.
A very low rate means interviewers are spending time on candidates who are not a good match.
