# Career-Ops — Market Calibration Benchmarks
|
|
#
|
|
# Directional calibration references, not targets. Sources are recruiter-industry
|
|
# and aggregated survey data (not peer-reviewed); mostly US, cross-industry.
|
|
# Every metric here is CANDIDATE-side. Employer-side metrics (time-to-fill,
|
|
# per-process interview pass rates) are deliberately absent — their denominators
|
|
# don't match anything a candidate can compute from their own tracker, and
|
|
# comparing across denominators fabricates precision.
|
|
#
|
|
# Users can override this file without losing changes on system updates:
|
|
# 1. --benchmarks <path> flag on funnel-velocity.mjs
|
|
# 2. config/benchmarks.yml (user layer — copy this file there and edit)
|
|
# 3. this file (shipped default)
|
|
# Non-US markets: copy to config/benchmarks.yml and localize ranges/sources.
