Influence HR

Are you measuring the right recruitment metrics—or just counting hires?

Recruitment isn't just about filling vacancies. It's about hiring the right people, improving efficiency, and making data-driven decisions that strengthen your workforce.

Here are the key recruitment metrics every employer should track:

✅ Time to Fill – How quickly are you filling open positions?
✅ Time to Hire – How long does it take from first contact to offer acceptance?
✅ Cost per Hire – Are you recruiting efficiently while controlling costs?
✅ Quality of Hire – Are your new hires performing and staying with your organisation?
✅ Offer Acceptance Rate – Are candidates choosing your company over competitors?
✅ Source of Hire – Which recruitment channels deliver your best talent?
✅ Candidate Experience – What are applicants saying about your hiring process?
✅ Employee Retention – Are your recruitment decisions leading to long-term success?

The best recruitment strategies don't rely on guesswork—they rely on data. Tracking these metrics helps organisations reduce hiring costs, improve candidate quality, and build stronger, more resilient teams.
