In today’s competitive job market, talent doesn’t wait. The best candidates often receive multiple offers within days, sometimes for hours. If your recruitment process is dragging, you’re not just slowing down operations, you’re losing out on top-tier talent.
At Knack Consulting, we understand that Turnaround Time (TAT) is more than a number. It’s a reflection of your hiring efficiency, your employer brand, and your ability to stay ahead of the competition.
Let’s Understand the High Cost of Delayed Hiring
A slow TAT can have serious consequences:
- Top candidates drop off when they don’t hear back in time.
- Competitors move faster, grabbing talent that was once within your reach.
- Team productivity suffers as roles remain unfilled for weeks or even months.
- Hiring costs increase as you extend advertising, screening, and interview cycles.
If you’re still relying on outdated systems, scattered communication, or overloaded HR teams, your TAT is likely holding you back.
Here while ideal turnaround times vary by industry and role type, here are some benchmarks are as below:
- Final decision & offer: Within 7–10 days.
- Screening & shortlisting: Within 10–20 hours.
- Interview scheduling: Within 24–36 hours.
The faster you can move through this cycle without sacrificing quality the better your chances of closing out the right candidate.
