Based on SHRM’s 2025 Recruiting Executives Benchmarking report, we pulled the key numbers worth tracking—and the ones worth sanity-checking inside your own hiring system. Here’s what the data points to: - High-volume hiring has become cheaper and more controllable - Managerial hiring has become noticeably more expensive—and riskier - Speed has mostly leveled out, but it’s often purchased with higher spend - The biggest blind spot remains quality of hire (because most teams still don’t define or measure it well) If your recruiting KPIs are only “fast” and “a lot,” you can absolutely get more efficient. But that doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting better.

Was your HCM investment really worth it? Most HR teams talk about ROI after the fact—without baselines or clear success measures. That’s why so many results go unnoticed. When you can prove faster payroll runs, lower compliance risk, and higher retention with hard numbers, you don’t just validate your system—you earn a stronger seat at the strategy table. 👉 Learn how to measure ROI the right way in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/eY3vaqpE

📊 The Cost of Talent is Shifting: Key Benchmarks from the 2025 Recruiting Report The new SHRM 2025 Recruiting Executives Benchmarking Report reveals a major divergence in hiring metrics, with costs soaring for executive roles while time-to-fill stabilizes. Here are the must-know insights for every talent acquisition professional: 1. Executive Hiring Costs Explode, Nonexecutive Costs Drop The cost-per-hire (CPH) gap is wider than ever, underscoring the resource intensity of top-tier talent acquisition: Executive CPH has reached a median of $10,625. This represents a staggering 113% increase since 2017 and a 21% rise since 2022. Nonexecutive CPH decreased to $1,200, a 27% decline since 2017. The Ratio: The cost of hiring an executive is now nearly 9 times that of a nonexecutive role. 2. Time-to-Fill Stabilizes, But Size Matters The hiring process is becoming more consistent across job levels, suggesting focused effort on speed: The median time-to-fill for both executive and nonexecutive positions is now about 44-45 days (a month and a half). This is a sharp drop for executive roles, which took 60 days in 2022. The Bottleneck: Extra-large organizations (5,000+ employees) report significantly longer time-to-fill periods (around 60-61 days for both). 3. The Internal Hiring Opportunity is Missed Recruitment remains overwhelmingly external, though larger firms are better at internal mobility: The overall median shows executive hiring is 100% external. Only 7% of nonexecutive positions are filled internally across all organizations. The Exception: Extra-large organizations are the exception, filling 50% of executive positions from within. 4. A "Quality of Hire" Blind Spot Despite 61% of recruiting executives citing a lack of qualified candidates as a top challenge, very few organizations actually measure whether their new hires deliver value: Only 20% of organizations use a quality-of-hire metric, a decline from previous years. 💡 Actionable Takeaway: Recruitment is expensive, especially at the executive level. Recruiting leaders need to justify these costs by integrating Quality of Hire metrics into their reporting and investing in internal development programs (upskilling, mentoring) to capitalize on the lower cost and higher potential retention of internal talent. How does your organization's CPH compare to these benchmarks? Share your thoughts below! 👇 #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #HRMetrics #Benchmarking #FutureOfWork #SHRM #ExecutiveSearch
