Measures on this page include

• the average number of days it takes to fill classified and unclassified positions from the date a job was posted to the date an offering of employment was made (hiring cycle time),
• the County's employee turnover rate, which includes all voluntary and involuntary terminations, but not temporary layoffs, furloughs, or leave of absences, and
• the number of applicants per position filled. Applicants per position is the overall average number of applicants for all classified positions that were externally filled within each quarter.

Data are reported by the Cuyahoga County Department of Human Resources on a quarterly basis.

Vacancies in the County’s workforce impair its ability to complete work and puts strain on employees who must cover a vacant position’s duties. The Department of Human Resources (HR) and the Personnel Review Commission (PRC) work together to help hiring managers attract and hire highly skilled employees in a timely manner to minimize the impact of a vacant position on the County and its workforce. A high average hiring cycle time can negatively affect the County’s ability to compete against other employers for highly qualified employees, who may obtain other employment while waiting for the County to make a hiring decision.

Average Hiring Cycle Time Classified (Quarterly): 60 days

Average Hiring Cycle Time Unclassified (Quarterly): 60 days

Employee Turnover (Quarterly): 9%

Applicants per Position (Quarterly): 75
