What insights does the dashboard provide?
Karen's Recruiting Analytics Dashboard enables teams to make data-based decisions and continuously improve their recruiting processes. Through comprehensive tracking of relevant KPIs, recruiting measures can be optimized, candidate experience improved and ultimately organizational success increased.
Karen explained, for example, how her SDR team was able to significantly improve the retention rate of new employees through qualitative studies and data analyses: She discovered that important skills of top performers were not adequately tested in the application process, which led to high dropout rates. After adjusting the case study, retention increased significantly, which led to significant cost savings in recruiting.
