A Study on the Filling-in Cycle and Talent Mobility Characteristics of Key Positions in Public Research Institutions

Abstract

In the process of undertaking long-term research tasks, the filling efficiency of key technical and management positions in public research institutions directly affects the project's progress. This study analyzes the impact of different position attributes on recruitment efficiency, focusing on the filling-in cycle and talent mobility characteristics. The study selected 36 months of personnel and recruitment data from a national-level research institution, covering 1,384 job openings and 12,760 candidate records. Explanatory variables included job professional requirements, project cycle stage, salary range, and team size. Survival analysis was used to characterize the filling-in time distribution, and a proportional hazards model was used to estimate influencing factors. The results show that the median filling time for positions with higher professional requirements is extended by approximately 18 days, and the filling-in risk rate significantly decreases when the project is in a critical stage. The research results provide a quantitative basis for research institutions to formulate phased talent recruitment strategies.
