Evaluating The Success Of Recruiting Process

Most companies evaluate the success of recruiting with filling of a position with the right candidate. In fact, filling up the position is just a part of the recruiting process. A recruiting process is said to be successful only when the position is not required to be re-recruited.

In simple words, a recruiting process should make sure that the person who joins the organization stay long term and do not disengage due to issues in his compatibility with organization. It could also be for the reason that the candidate is not aligned with the commitment he made to the company and quits it as soon as he gets some other good opportunity elsewhere.

This issue is seen with most companies that have simple recruiting process or incompetent recruiting staff. The assessment of the morals or commitment of the candidate is as important as assessing his skills and degrees. The assessing skills come from the experience and competence of the recruiter.
