Example

Sarah applies for a customer success position. Although many other applicants have been interviewed, Sarah continues through the hiring process and is identified as a candidate to which an offer will be made. She accepts the offer 10 days after having applied. Time to Hire = Accepted date - date having entered the pipeline = 10 days

Role 1 hired: 25 days Role 2 hired: 40 days Role 3 hired: 35 days Average Time to Fill = (25d + 40d + 35d) / 3 hires = 33.33 days per hire.
