The Offer Acceptance Rate is a key performance metric that measures the percentage of job offers that are accepted by candidates out of the total number of offers extended. It provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of recruitment processes and candidate experience.
The calculator uses the Acceptance Rate formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the proportion of successful offers relative to all offers made, expressed as a percentage for easy interpretation.
Details: A high acceptance rate indicates effective recruitment strategies, competitive offers, and positive candidate experience. Low acceptance rates may signal issues with compensation, company reputation, or recruitment process that need addressing.
Tips: Enter the number of accepted offers and total offers extended. Both values must be valid (accepted offers ≤ total offers, total offers > 0). The calculator will automatically compute the acceptance rate percentage.
Q1: What is considered a good acceptance rate?

Q3: What factors affect acceptance rates?

Q4: How can I improve low acceptance rates?
A: Review compensation benchmarks, enhance candidate communication, streamline hiring processes, gather candidate feedback, and improve employer branding.
Q5: Should this metric be tracked by role/department?
A: Yes, analyzing acceptance rates by role, department, or location can provide more targeted insights for improvement strategies.
