# Creation Notes: Time-to-Hire

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-07

## Key Decisions

- **Product mapping:** None (Recruiting/BMS cluster – Ordio has no BMS). Post-hire CTA only: digitale Personalakte, Dokumentenmanagement (post-hire document management).
- **PAA handling:** SISTRIX returned many off-topic employer branding questions (>30%). Used `paa-questions-manual.json` with 15 Time-to-Hire focused questions covering definition, calculation, benchmarks, optimization, and differentiation.
- **Related posts:** cost-per-hire (score: 1), human-capital-management, hiring-manager, fluktuationsrate, personalpolitik, onboarding, recruiting.
- **Image scene type:** TIMER (distinct from recruiting DESK, cost-per-hire ABSTRACT, hiring-manager DESK). Time-to-Hire specifically measures TIME/duration, so timer/clock visual fits perfectly.
- **Internal links:** recruiting, cost-per-hire, hiring-manager, onboarding, bewerbermanagementsystem, Mehrarbeit, Fluktuation, Jobbörsen, Zeitarbeit, Stellenbeschreibung, Multiposting, Active Sourcing, Talent Pool, Candidate Experience, Employer Branding.
- **Product links:** digitale-personalakte, dokumentenmanagement (post-hire document management for new employees).
- **Bidirectional links:** Added to 8 related post carousels (cost-per-hire, human-capital-management, hiring-manager, unbezahlter-urlaub, qualifiziertes-arbeitszeugnis, balanced-scorecard, brückenteilzeit, urlaubssperre).

## Benchmarks Used

- DE Durchschnitt: 30–45 Tage
- Standardpositionen: 25–40 Tage
- Fachkräfte (IT, Gesundheit, Vertrieb): 45–90 Tage
- Führungskräfte: 60–120 Tage
- Mit Talent Pool: 15–20 Tage

## Formula

Time-to-Hire = (Vertragsannahme-Datum - Stellenausschreibung-Datum) ÷ Anzahl Einstellungen

## Differentiation Strategy

- **Time-to-Hire vs. Time-to-Fill:** Comparison table showing perspective (Kandidaten vs. Unternehmen), endpoint (Vertragsannahme vs. Besetzung), and typical duration difference.
- **Time-to-Hire vs. Cost-per-Hire:** Time-to-Hire measures duration (days), Cost-per-Hire measures costs (Euro). Explained relationship: long Time-to-Hire increases Cost-per-Hire.
- **Time-to-Hire vs. Quality-of-Hire:** Time-to-Hire measures speed, Quality-of-Hire measures quality. Emphasized balance between speed and quality.

## SEO Meta

- **Title:** "Time-to-Hire: Definition, Formel & Optimierung - Ordio" (58 chars)
- **Description:** "Time-to-Hire ist eine wichtige Recruiting-Kennzahl. Erfahre Definition, Formel, Berechnung, Benchmarks in Deutschland und wie du die Time-to-Hire optimierst. Mit Vergleich zu Time-to-Fill und Cost-per-Hire." (158 chars)
- **Source:** Manual
- **Updated:** 2026-03-07T16:00:20Z

## Lead Capture Copy

- **Headline:** "Time-to-Hire optimieren – und danach?"
- **Description:** "Nach erfolgreicher Einstellung unterstützt Ordio mit digitaler Personalakte und Dokumentenmanagement den reibungslosen Start neuer Mitarbeiter. Lass dich kostenlos zurückrufen – unverbindlich."
- **Funnel Stage:** TOF
- **Rationale:** Focuses on post-hire support (digitale Personalakte, Dokumentenmanagement) since Time-to-Hire is a recruiting metric and Ordio doesn't have a BMS.

## Content Quality

- **Word count:** 2,303 words (89% of 2,600 target, above 80% minimum)
- **H2 sections:** 9 (target: 8-12)
- **H3 sections:** 0 (competitors use H3s, but not required for validation)
- **FAQs:** 14 (target: 10-15)
- **FAQ quality:** EXCELLENT (100/100)
- **Validation:** PASS (content comparison, section depth, FAQ validation all passed)

## Pipeline & Validation

- **Content gates:** All passed (validate-improvement-readiness.php, validate-content-outline-quality.php, check-outline-h2-overlap.php)
- **FAQ validation:** All passed (check-h2-faq-overlap.php, validate-faq-quality.php, validate-faq-schema.php)

## Notes

- Manual PAA override created due to >30% off-topic questions from SISTRIX (employer branding focus).
- Content emphasizes German benchmarks and industry variations (IT, Gesundheitswesen, Einzelhandel, Gastronomie).
- Differentiation from Time-to-Fill is critical (many PAA questions) – included comprehensive comparison table.
- Post-hire product promotion (digitale Personalakte, Dokumentenmanagement) aligns with workflow: after Time-to-Hire ends, new employees need document management.
