Recruiting Metrics Best Practices

A lot of companies struggle to answer the question, how do we measure the effectiveness of our recruiting and interviewing efforts?

Countless studies have shown that people act as they are measured so it’s difficult to argue against the importance of the question. The right kind of measurement can help drive organizational change and performance.

The proper selection of recruiting metrics is a critical step in understanding how you are doing with the hiring and talent selection process. Combined with clear strategies, processes, incentives, technologies, structures, and skills, these behavior-based interviewing and recruiting metrics should help ensure that you are attracting and acquiring the top talent that you need to gain a competitive advantage.

Based on over 25 years of experience helping organizations improve competency-based behavioral interviewing training and practices, we couldn't agree more.

More and more of our clients have increased hiring. More and more of our clients utilize an inconsistent and unproven interviewing process that takes too much time and does not produce the desired results.

While we know that hiring the right people significantly decreases costs and increases productivity, fewer and fewer organizations have the skills to interview effectively-they don't have a clear picture of the ideal candidate nor how to ask the questions that will predict performance once hired.

We think the problem is obvious.
