Could you share more information about how many applications you get in a recruiting cycle, and how many hires you make as a result of that?
Respectfully, I’ve seen you advertising this role for years. It pays quite well, so I find it baffling that you continue to recruit year after year!
If you could offer any transparency about this job posting—how often you open a recruitment cycle, how many people move through each stage of the recruitment process in each cycle, how many people you hire each cycle, etc—it would be much appreciated.
Hi Marna, your questions (and sorry for the delay on this; I didn’t see your post until today):
In the last two years, for junior hiring rounds across our teams, we’ve...
received in the range of thousands of applications per round. Application volume is usually somewhat lower for more senior roles.
made 3 to 5 hires per round. This isn’t always apparent from our people page because new junior hires sometimes take on different job titles at the beginning of their employment or shortly thereafter.
We last hired Research Analysts in 2022, but the job duties and team placement of that role were different than the role of the same name advertised above. We last opened a Content Editor hiring round (the most similar role to this one) in 2023. From that round we made 4 hires, all of whom are on our staff today.
We don’t plan to share information about passthrough rates for each stage of the hiring process, except to say that passthrough rates generally increase with each stage.
