Engineering Recruitment Funnel

This funnel tracks a Q2 hiring process for backend engineers from application through accepted offer. It gives the recruiting team a shared picture of the volume required at each stage and the points where candidates leave the process. The largest reductions are expected in early screening and technical evaluation, but the offer-to-acceptance ratio deserves attention because it directly affects hiring plans. Use a consistent definition for each stage and exclude candidates who have not had enough time to progress when reporting a recent cohort. Pair the funnel with time-in-stage, demographic review, and candidate feedback to assess both speed and fairness.
