What Top Tech Employers Do Differently: New Hiring Data to Win in 2023

Top Tech Recruiting & Hiring Benchmarks: 2022 Data for TA & Hiring Managers

To better support talent acquisition, recruiting, and hiring teams, we’ve studied industry benchmarks and best practices through the lens of our core values: equity, efficiency, and transparency. 

Why? We believe, and the data agrees, that successful companies have employer brands strong in these key areas.

Our goal for this report is to help leaders gauge the strength of their recruitment strategies by comparing their processes to top employers getting hiring “right” in 2022. This includes traditional KPIs such as the fastest time to hire, the highest offer acceptance rates, and the least variation between expected salary and salary in a final offer. 

Hired’s hiring benchmarks report evaluated all active companies on its platform based on these three values critical to attracting, hiring, and retaining top talent. For each one, Hired’s Data team collected and analyzed specific criteria and metrics based on our marketplace data.

Brief Methodology

For each of these core values, we analyzed specific criteria and metrics using our proprietary marketplace data. This included platform activity from several hundred companies between September 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022.

In addition, we surveyed more than 1100 tech and sales professionals on their opinions regarding Equity, Efficiency, and Transparency in the candidate and employee experience. For more details, see the full Methodology section at the end of the report.
