Measuring the success of your recruitment efforts is important, whether or not you’re the one who makes the hiring decisions. By looking at your recruitment efforts as a whole and what does or doesn’t work for your company, you can get a good idea of how successful they are.

Here are some ways to measure the success of your recruitment efforts.

Number of qualified resumes received

One way to measure the success of your recruitment efforts is by looking at the number of qualified resumes you’ve received. This can be done by setting up a system that tracks how many resumes are received and then filters down to those that meet the qualifications you’re looking for. If you see that there’s been an increase in the number of qualified resumes, then it’s safe to say that your recruitment efforts are working!

Percentage of candidates interviewed who are offered the job

A common way to measure the success of your recruitment efforts is by looking at the percentage of candidates interviewed who are offered the job. This gives you a sense of how efficient your recruitment process is and how well it’s filtered through candidates. If you’re seeing a high number of offers being made to interviewed candidates, it means that your recruitment process is working well and that you’re attracting good candidates.

Time to fill a position

Time to fill a position is the average time it takes to fill an open position, from when the job is posted until the new employee starts working. This includes both the time it takes to find a qualified candidate and the time it takes to go through the hiring process.

Several factors can affect how long it takes to fill a position. One of the most important factors is how quickly you can find qualified candidates. If there are a lot of qualified candidates available, it will take less time to fill the position. If few qualified candidates are available, it will take longer to fill the position.

The hiring process can also affect how long it takes to fill a position. If the process is slow and bureaucratic, it will take longer to fill the position. If the process is quick and efficient, filling the position will take less time.

Candidate satisfaction ratings

Candidate satisfaction ratings are another way to measure the success of your recruitment efforts. By surveying candidates who have gone through the process, you can see how happy they are with the experience. This gives you a good idea of how well you’re meeting the needs of potential candidates and whether or not they would recommend your company to others.

If you’re seeing high satisfaction ratings from candidates, it means that you’re doing a good job of meeting their needs. If you’re seeing low satisfaction ratings, it means that there’s room for improvement in your recruitment process.

Cost per hire

Cost per hire is a metric used to measure the effectiveness of a company’s recruitment efforts. It is calculated by dividing the total cost of recruitment by the number of hires. This includes the costs of advertising, interviewing, testing, and hiring.

Several factors can affect the cost per hire. One of the most important factors is the type of recruitment campaign used. If a company is using a custom recruitment portal, the cost per hire will be higher than using a general job board. The time it takes to fill a position can also affect the cost per hire. If a company has a slow hiring process, the cost per hire will be higher.

Sources of hires by department or function

There are various ways to measure the sources of hires by department or function. One way is to look at how many candidates were hired from different sources. This can be done by dividing the number of hires by candidates. This will give you a percentage of how many candidates were hired from each source.

Another way to measure the sources of hires by department or function is to look at the number of hires from each source. This can be done by dividing the number of hires by the number of applicants. This will give you a percentage of how many applicants were hired from each source.
