The analysis, published Aug. 2, finds the median time to hire for the job function is 59.5 days. Time to hire is calculated as the number of days from the date a job is posted on LinkedIn to the date when the hirer reports it as filled. 

Data is based on thousands of confirmed U.S. hires on LinkedIn, flowing out of job listings posted in April.

In some fields, such as healthcare and finance, regulations and background checks can stretch out the time to hire, the report said.

Consulting: 62.9
