What Are KPIs In Recruitment
Recruitment KPIs allow you to eliminate the guesswork from your recruitment process and show you where you’re doing things right and where you’re going wrong. They also allow you to understand whether the changes you’re introducing have positive or negative consequences and make sure your hiring process is structured and replicable. That’s because recruitment KPIs paint a detailed picture of a particular aspect of your recruitment process, like how quick it is, how many candidates you get per opening, how many people leave after a given period of time, how satisfied your employees are and so on. What is more, apart from painting a detailed picture, they are also objective in verifying your hiring success.
