This sounds like a major cost that maybe isn't really considered when studies are done that evaluate the cost of potentially hiring a bad employee.

The glaring problem I have seen with nearly all of those studies and discussions is that they all seem to underestimate or even neglect the costs of losing good candidates.

Exactly...that's what I was trying to convey.

I've been making some grumblings, and would really like data to back things up. Would anyone who was recently hired (past year or so) mind sharing information about the process?

I'm mostly interested in the length of time from first contact->first day on the job, whether you think that is a reasonable amount of time, and the rough size of the company (or the name, but I understand people not wanting to share that)
