Where Compono fits

When offers fall through, the problem usually started earlier, with a candidate who was never the right fit or never sold on the role. Tracking the funnel tells you where people leave but not why. Compono Hire runs the applicant tracking system (ATS) process you already rely on, then adds behavioural and culture-fit data so you make offers to people who actually want to stay and thrive. With 92% culture-fit prediction accuracy, Compono Hire helps you back the right candidates earlier.

See how it works

How it's calculated

Offer acceptance rate is offers accepted divided by offers extended, multiplied by 100. The calculator also maps conversion at each stage, from applicants to screened, screened to interviewed, interviewed to offered, and offered to accepted, so you can see where candidates fall away. Vendor benchmarks put typical offer acceptance around 70% (Crosschq), a strong target is above 90%, and Gartner found roughly 35% of candidates reneged after accepting in early 2025.

Common questions

How is offer acceptance rate calculated?

Divide the number of offers accepted by the number of offers extended, then multiply by 100. For example, 8 acceptances from 10 offers gives an 80% acceptance rate. It is one of the clearest signals of how competitive and well-run your hiring process is.

What is a good offer acceptance rate?

Vendor benchmarks put the average around 70%, and a strong target is above 90%. A rate well below average usually points to slow processes, pay that is off the market, or candidates who were never fully aligned with the role.

Why do candidates reject offers after the process?

Common reasons include counter-offers, a faster competitor, pay or conditions that fell short, or doubts about fit that built up during the process. About 35% of candidates even renege after accepting (Gartner, Q1 2025), so alignment early matters.

How do I improve my acceptance rate?

Move faster, communicate clearly, and make sure pay and role expectations are set before the offer. Most importantly, focus on fit from the start so the people reaching offer stage genuinely want the job, not just any job.
