Small team spending significant time on hiring but tracking wrong metrics, leading to bad hires and high turnover.

Existing ATS and hiring tools track surface-level metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance) but lack deeper analytics like offer-to-join, funnel drop-off by stage, interview-to-hire ratio, 90-day failure rate, and cost-per-quality-applicant by source.

Workarounds Described

manually tracking offer acceptances without verifying actual start
no systematic tracking of where candidates drop off in the funnel
using job boards without measuring quality per source

Implied Software Gaps

Software that automatically tracks actual start dates post-offer acceptance
Funnel analytics tool that shows drop-off rates at each stage
Source quality scoring that measures cost per qualified applicant, not just per hire
