What to do next
Reduce Decision Latency
Problem
priority vacancies are taking around 55 days to fill.
Suggested action
Set clear stage ownership, introduce weekly hiring standups, and cap feedback windows at 48 hours.
Expected outcome
Shorter hiring cycles and lower candidate drop-off within the next review period.
Reduce Agency Dependence
Problem
Agency usage is running at approximately 44% across current hiring demand.
Suggested action
Segment agency use by role difficulty, build direct sourcing lists, and reserve agencies for true specialist searches.
Expected outcome
Lower external spend without reducing hiring coverage.
Introduce a Manager Hiring Framework
Problem
Manager feedback is averaging roughly 6 days.
Suggested action
Give managers a simple hiring SLA, role briefing template, and feedback scorecard.
Expected outcome
Clearer accountability and faster candidate progression.
Cost leakage
Where value may be leaking
Top risks
What could slow progress
Slow Hiring
highHiring cycles are longer than comparable organisations.
Likely increasing vacancy cost, candidate drop-off, and agency reliance.
Agency Overdependence
highAgency usage appears structurally high rather than exceptional.
Recruitment cost may be masking problems in direct attraction, process speed, or manager ownership.
Manager Bottlenecks
highHiring manager behaviour is slowing recruitment performance.
Delayed feedback weakens candidate trust and forces the process to restart more often.
