Time to Fill State Positions
This dataset provides information on the statewide median time to fill (hiring) process within JobAps (the State of Connecticut Applicant Tracking System).
Note: Median calculations are based on hires that completed each stage within the last 365 days (i.e. August 2026 medians are calculated from the hires that occurred from August 1st, 2025, to August 1st, 2026).
The stages of the hiring process included in this dataset are:
Stage 1: Recruitment Plan
This stage measures the median number of calendar days it takes for a state agency to determine how to fill an approved job vacancy. Before a position can be posted, the agency must review applicable laws and labor agreements to ensure that any rights of current or former employees are honored. Once this review is complete, the agency submits a request to post the job. The timeline for this stage begins when the agency initiates the request (called a requisition) and ends when the job is posted on JobAps, the State's Online Employment Center.
Stage 2: Job Opening
This stage measures the median number of calendar days a job opening remains posted and open for applications. The length of the posting period is influenced by legal requirements, labor agreements, and the agency's outreach needs. The timeline begins when the job is posted on JobAps and ends when the application period closes.
Stage 3: Applicant Screening
This stage measures the median number of calendar days it takes to complete the required review and screening of applications. During this time, candidate lists of eligible candidates are created in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and labor agreements. The timeline begins when the application period closes and ends when the hiring agency receives the finalized candidate list.
Stage 4: Agency Selection
This stage measures the median number of calendar days it takes for a state agency to select and hire candidates from a candidate list. During this period, the agency reviews applications, and conducts a selection process in accordance with legal requirements, policies, labor agreements, and affirmative action procedures. The timeline begins when the agency receives the candidate list and ends when one or more candidates are hired.
Additional Measure: Total Time to Fill
Measures the end to end process which is the median number of calendar days it takes from the time a state agency begins the requisition process to fill an approved job vacancy (Stage 1) until the time they hire a candidate from a candidate list (Stage 4).
