Where they drop out.
How many candidates reached each stage, for up to three of your roles. Out come the pass rates at every step, the step where each role falls furthest behind your others, and what to look at there.
Leave a stage blank if you didn't track it. The figures filled in are examples.
How it works.
Each step's pass rate is the number at a stage divided by the number at the stage before. A blank stage is skipped, and the step runs to the next stage you filled in.
With two or three roles, each role is compared with the others at the same step, pooled, and the tool shows where it falls furthest behind. That compares you with yourself rather than with an industry average: the roles share your market, your clients and your way of working, so a step where one is far behind is worth a look.
With one role, it shows the step from "CV sent" onwards that loses the largest share. Late losses cost the most: by then you, the candidate and the client have all put the time in.
The things to check at each step are ours: questions to ask, not a diagnosis. A few roles is a small sample, and one candidate can swing a rate a long way.

Rates and thresholds move most Aprils. Leave your email and we'll tell you when this tool is updated. We won't use it for anything else, and you can ask us to delete it at hello@hikari-ai.co.uk.
