[Go here for metrics 1 through 7.]
8. Quality of Hire
Most of the other metrics pale in comparison to metrics that measure the quality of hire. Recruiting is pretty much pointless if the hires don’t meet quality standards, no matter how fast or how much appreciated.
Furthermore, this feedback can help recruiters fine-tune their work for the managers involved, iCIMS says. They also suggest standard surveys for this purpose, again for searchability and reportability.

9. New-Hire Turnover Rate
Calculate by dividing the number of new hires who separate from the company (including terminations or voluntary quits) during a given period (could be month, year) by the total number of employees during that time period.
As iCIMS says, regardless of their level of performance, a new hire can hardly be considered a success if he or she voluntarily quit within the first few months.
Of course, if your new hire turnover is mostly due to terminations, you’ve got a problem with your selection process.
Best-in-class onboarding can make a significant difference in retention, says iCIMS.
10. Onboarding Task Completion
iCIMS quotes the Aberdeen Group, saying that companies with best-in-class onboarding see a 92% employee retention rate, vs. 31% retention for companies with substandard onboarding processes. iCIMS recommends automating the onboarding process so that important steps are not forgotten.
Recruiting metrics is just one part of the recruiting process. Another is the channels through which you recruit. And the big one everyone is using? Social media.
The fact of the matter is, many of your potential candidates’ day to day experiences revolve around social media, but using social networks as a recruiting channel is new to many organizations—which means they need to adapt and use new tools in order to effectively deliver content, job postings, and branding material. But it’s worth it—posting job openings on social media can increase candidate applications by 30% to 50%! And with a little strategizing, it’s easy to take advantage of. Want to learn more?
