Recruitment Funnel Benchmarks: Conversion Rates by Stage

Hiring-funnel data showing roughly 6% of job views become applications, 3% of applicants reach an interview, and 27% of interviewees are hired - about one hire per 180 applicants, with tech roles needing far more applicants than healthcare.

Why I recommend it: Read this when the silence feels personal. It is not: 97% of applicants are screened out before a human ever sees them. That is the argument for referrals, sourcing, and warm outreach over another 40 cold applications.
