Offer Acceptance Rate (%) = (Total Offers Accepted / Total Offers Extended) x 100 Offer Decline Rate (%) = 100 - Offer Acceptance Rate (%) Offers Declined = Total Offers Extended - Total Offers Accepted Weighted OAR (multi-role) = (Total Accepted Across All Roles / Total Extended Across All Roles) x 100 Average OAR (multi-role) = Sum of All Individual OAR Values / Number of Roles Example: 50 offers extended, 43 accepted. OAR = (43/50) x 100 = 86%. Decline Rate = 14%.
Global OAR Benchmarks (SHRM / LinkedIn Talent Trends): - Above 90%: Excellent - maintain and monitor for sustainability - 80%-90%: Good - review declining roles for improvement opportunities - 70%-80%: Needs Attention - audit compensation benchmarks and offer process timing - Below 70%: Critical - immediate review of total comp, employer brand, and process experience Global average OAR: 83%-91% across all industries. Technology and senior roles typically see lower rates (78%-86%) due to higher candidate leverage.
Offer acceptance rate is a recruitment metric that measures the percentage of formal job offers extended to candidates that are accepted. It is calculated by dividing the total number of accepted offers by the total number of offers made and multiplying by 100. A higher rate indicates stronger employer brand alignment, competitive compensation, and a positive candidate experience.
