Using Data-Driven Metrics For Effective Recruiting And Long-Term Retention

Use data to improve recruiting and retention. Learn what information to gather, analyze, and communicate.

Data can reveal recruiting and retention concerns and priorities. Analyses of applicant ratios, hiring costs, lifecycle effectiveness, and turnover causes enable you to understand your organization’s strengths and identify opportunities to improve your process and messaging.

You can also use compelling data to entice candidates to join your organization and convince employees to stay. Concrete facts help people feel comfortable accepting and remaining in jobs, confident in your organization’s stability and excited to contribute to shared quantitative goals.

• What can external data reveal about your competition for top talent?
• How can you evaluate your candidate lifecycle process and effectiveness?
• What results do your paid and free recruiting resources yield?
