Recruiter Analytics
Hello everyone! I’m looking to analyze my recruiting metrics and would appreciate your advice. I work alongside two other recruiters and maintain a spreadsheet that includes candidate names, positions, clients, and their statuses (Talent Pool, Rejected, In Process, Hired). I update this monthly, but I’m unsure how to interpret my performance in terms of numbers and percentages, such as conversion rates or screening quality.
I would love to hear your mathematical tips and recommendations! Thank you!

Hi there!
It’s great that you’re looking to analyze your recruitment performance! Here are a few steps and metrics you might consider to effectively evaluate your numbers:
1. Basic Metrics to Track
Number of Candidates Interviewed: This gives you a baseline for evaluating your performance.
Status Breakdown: Count how many candidates fall into each status you have (Talent Pool, Rejected, In Process, Hired). This will aid in identifying where you might need to focus.
Conversion Rates:
Screening Conversion Rate: This measures how many candidates moved from screening to interview.
[
\text{Screening Conversion Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Candidates Interviewed}}{\text{Total Candidates Sourced}} \right) \times 100
]
Interview to Offer Conversion Rate: This shows how many candidates you interviewed progressed to the offer stage.
[
\text{Interview to Offer Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Candidates Offered}}{\text{Total Interviews Conducted}} \right) \times 100
]
Offer Acceptance Rate: This shows how many offers were accepted.
[
\text{Offer Acceptance Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Offers Accepted}}{\text{Total Offers Made}} \right) \times 100
]
2. Quality of Hire Metrics
Time to Fill: Measure the average time taken to fill a position from the moment a job requisition is opened to when the candidate accepts the offer.
Candidate Quality Feedback: If you have access to hiring managers’ feedback on candidates, you can create a simple rating system (e.g., 1-5). This can help assess the quality of candidates you’re submitting.
Performance of Hires: If possible, track the performance of hired candidates after a specific period (6 months or 1 year). This can provide insights into your screening quality.
3. Visualizing Your Data
Use charts or graphs to visualize trends over time. For instance, a line chart showing your monthly hires versus your interview numbers can be very insightful.
A pie chart or bar graph to show your status breakdown can quickly illustrate where your candidates are falling off in the process.
4. Monthly Review
5. Continuous Improvement
Based on your analysis, identify areas for improvement. For example, if your offer acceptance rate is low, consider reviewing your offers or how you present opportunities to candidates.
Share findings with your colleagues. Collaborating can provide different perspectives and strategies on improving recruitment processes.
I hope this gives you a solid foundation to start analyzing your recruitment performance! If you have specific numbers or metrics you want to discuss further, feel free to share!
Good luck!
