How long does it take to hire an HR professional?

A professional HR recruitment process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks, up to 6-9 months.

This length of time is dependent on several factors, such as the complexity and seniority of the hire, whether it’s a permanent or contract position, the number of candidates being considered, whether it’s an urgent find, and a business’s internal selection process.

For a mid-level HR hire, you could expect a process to take an average of 45 days from going live with your vacancy, through to your candidate accepting the job.

You’ve then got to factor in whether the candidate has a notice period and how much time that adds onto the process. Notice periods in HR are typically 1 month at the more junior end, 3 months at the ‘mid-level’, and 6 months at the senior (HRD/CPO) level.
