Applicant Funnel

The stages from application to hire, with drop-off at each.

Funnel analysis shows where candidates leak. Standard stages: applied → screened → interviewed → offered → hired. Each step's pass-through rate and time tells you where to invest.

The most actionable cut is by source: which channels deliver candidates that convert through the funnel, vs which deliver volume that drops at first review.
