Offer Acceptance Rate Calculator
Calculate recruiting offer acceptance rate from accepted and declined offers, with pending offers shown separately.
Measure offer acceptance
Enter accepted, declined and still-pending offers for the reporting period.
How the calculation works
Offer acceptance rate = accepted offers ÷ (accepted + declined offers) × 100. Pending offers are shown separately and excluded from the decided-offer denominator so they do not depress the rate before candidates respond.
How to use the result
Track acceptance by role, level, location, recruiter or hiring manager to find patterns. Pair the metric with offer cycle time and decline reasons to understand why acceptance changes.
Assumptions and limitations
Organizations sometimes define the denominator differently, especially for rescinded or expired offers. Use a documented definition and compare periods only when statuses are classified consistently.
Example
With 35 accepted and 10 declined offers, the decided-offer acceptance rate is 77.78%.
