The Hiring Process Timeline: How Long Does Hiring Really Take?

Hiring process timeline

Temporary Hiring

Temporary hiring is the fastest, with pre-screened workers typically deployed within 48 hours through a supplier.

Contract Hiring

Contract hiring takes slightly longer due to agreement and onboarding, but a ready pool still enables deployment within days.

Permanent Hiring

Permanent hiring takes the longest — from sourcing and multiple interviews to references and notice periods. Expect several weeks for specialised roles.

How to Speed It Up

Use a recruitment partner, keep job descriptions clear, streamline interviews and move quickly on good candidates. A ready candidate pool dramatically reduces time to hire.
