Data Collection Methods

Efficiency and Process Metrics

These metrics can typically be extracted directly from your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or HRIS. Set up regular exports or API connections to automate data collection.

Quality Metrics

Collect data through performance reviews, hiring manager surveys, and retention tracking. Implement standardized scoring systems for consistency.

Candidate Experience Metrics

Use post-application and post-interview surveys to gather feedback. Consider implementing a candidate NPS system for standardized measurement.

Diversity Metrics

Collect through voluntary self-identification during the application process. Ensure compliance with privacy regulations and use aggregate data only.

Pro Tip: Create a data dictionary that clearly defines each metric, its calculation method, data source, and update frequency to ensure consistency in reporting.

Interpreting Dashboard Results

Identifying Bottlenecks

Look for stages in the recruitment process with longer-than-average time periods or lower-than-average conversion rates. These indicate potential bottlenecks that need attention.

Evaluating Sourcing Channels

Compare cost per hire, quality of hire, and time to fill across different sourcing channels to determine which channels provide the best ROI.

Assessing Recruitment Team Performance

Analyze metrics by recruiter to identify best practices and opportunities for coaching or process improvement.

Tracking Improvements Over Time

Use trend analysis to measure the impact of process changes or new initiatives on key recruitment metrics.
