A Diagnostic Tool to Evaluate the
Effectiveness of Your Recruitment Plan

Developing a new recruitment plan can provide you with the opportunity to evaluate past recruitment successes and failures. It also offers a clean slate for developing a plan that sets new goals, targets and metrics for measuring success. The following is a “check up” tool to evaluate the effectiveness of your past and future recruitment plans. If your recruitment department or staffing office did not have a plan, it provides criteria to begin the formulation of one.

This diagnostic tool will supply you with quantifiable information to get started on formulating a “first time” recruitment plan, or serve as a means for evaluating what you did in the past to improve outcomes in the future. (Many times dollars can be shifted from areas yielding marginal outcomes to areas in need of budget support, e.g. a new education program focused on developing competencies for new pools of candidates.)

Whatever your purpose, opportunities will present themselves to improve your performance metrics in vacancy and turnover rates, overtime and outside registry usage, time to fill vacant positions and cost per hire.
