How is the percentage of open positions calculated?

The percentage of open positions is calculated by taking the number of open positions and dividing it by the total number of positions that are available in the organization. This method provides a clear view of how many positions are unfilled relative to the overall staffing needs.

When this calculation is performed, it offers a direct insight into the organization's recruitment status, aiding in understanding workforce planning and identifying potential talent acquisition challenges. By focusing on the relationship between open positions and the total available positions, organizations can accurately assess their hiring needs and effectiveness.

Other calculations presented in the options do not reflect the standard approach for determining the percentage of open positions, as they either measure filled positions or ratio comparisons that do not correspond to the organization's staffing needs against its total vacancies.
