What This Graph Tells Us​

Why This Measure Matters​

The time it takes to fill vacancies reflects both recruitment efficiency and the County’s competitiveness in attracting top talent. Shorter recruitment times reduce service disruption and prevent existing staff from becoming overextended—helping maintain engagement and morale. Improving this metric strengthens Skagit County’s ability to recruit effectively and sustain a fully staffed, high-performing workforce.
