Help me sanity-check whether this pipeline can actually close. ROLE: {{Job Title}}, needs {{N}} hire(s) by {{target date}} CURRENT PIPELINE: {{count at each stage — e.g. 40 sourced, 12 screened, 4 with the hiring manager, 1 onsite}} MY HISTORICAL PASS-THROUGH RATES: {{e.g. 30% screen to HM, 50% HM to onsite, 40% onsite to offer, 80% offer accept — or "unknown"}} TYPICAL TIME PER STAGE: {{e.g. about a week between each}} TYPICAL NOTICE PERIOD IN THIS MARKET: {{e.g. 30, 60 or 90 days}} Work out: 1. Roughly how many hires this pipeline produces at those rates, shown step by step so I can check the arithmetic. 2. The realistic start date for the first hire, counting time per stage and the notice period, against the target date. 3. If it falls short, the top of funnel I'd need instead, and how many weeks of sourcing that is at my current pace. 4. Which single stage is the biggest constraint, and whether the fix is more volume or better conversion at that stage. They need very different responses from me. 5. How sensitive the answer is: what happens if offer accept drops 20 points, or a finalist withdraws. 6. Three sentences I can send the hiring manager stating the forecast plainly, including what I need from them. If I don't have historical rates, say what you assumed and how much the answer depends on it.
