The most common recruitment metrics are:

📈 Time to Hire

It measures the time between a candidate applying for a job and accepting a job.

📈 Time to Fill

It measures how long a role remains open. Often, when time to fill is long, it indicates issues within your recruitment strategy: bottlenecks, long feedback loops, etc.

📈 Pass-Through Rate

Measures the percentage of candidates who make it through each step of the process. It helps a lot to see bottlenecks in the process.

📈 Source of Hire

Where you get your candidates from: outbound vs inbound; linkedin or job boards etc. Measure the number of candidates by the source to determine which sources bring in the least and most candidates.

📈 Candidate Satisfaction

It’s how job seekers feel about the overall candidate experience. Most companies use candidate satisfaction surveys to measure it.

📈 Quality of Hire

It’s a performance of a new candidate during 3-month, or 1-year period. Low ratings can indicate bad hires (but honestly, this metric is a very vague one!)

📈 Rejection Reason by Category

If you can start to identify trends in rejection reasons, it'll help you pinpoint exactly what to fix.

📈 Offer Acceptance Rate

See Selling and Closing page.

📈 Cost per Hire

It’s understanding of how much money you are spending during the recruitment process: recruitment agencies, job boards, paid ads, referrals, etc.
