How we measure recruitment success

We take a data driven approach when it comes to measuring the success of selection and recruitment process. Our approach allows the recruitment process to run efficiently and overall improve the experience of each candidate. We use metrics such as ROI, cost per hire, time taken from start to finish, offer acceptance rate and many more factors that measure the success of our recruitment efforts.

ROI

We calculate the return on investment (ROI) of our recruitment efforts by comparing the cost with the value of the new hires we bring to your company.

Cost per hire

We track the cost per hire to ensure that our recruitment efforts are efficient and cost-effective.

Time to hire

By monitoring the time taken from start to finish of the recruitment process, we ensure that it is carried out efficiently as possible to avoid unnecessary expenditures.

Quality

We measure the quality of our recruitment efforts by assessing the fit and performance of the new hires in their roles. We aim to find candidates who not only meet the technical requirements of the role but also fit well with your company culture and values.

Offer acceptance rate

We track the percentage of candidates who accept our job offers to gauge the effectiveness of our recruitment efforts.

Candidate scoring

We use a candidate scoring system to evaluate candidates based on predetermined criteria. This helps us identify the most qualified and suitable candidates for the role and allows for a more objective evaluation process.
