How to interpret this data
Definition
Applicants per hire measures the quality of your applications for hired roles. The lower your ratio, the higher the quality of applications you are receiving to get to your hiring quota.
Why it's important
Applicant to hire ratios can change drastically as market conditions change. Benchmark your own ratio against a continually refreshed dataset. In this filtered report, you can compare the ratio across different channels, which may help you to identify your best and worst performing channels.
Methodology
We calculate applicants per hire by taking the total number of applications divided by the number of successful applications.
