How to measure recruiter performance with qualified hires

Call counts and lead counts show activity. They do not show whether a recruiter moved the right drivers toward a lasting hire.

Measure response and follow-up

Track time to first contact, completed follow-ups, and overdue tasks. These measures show whether leads receive timely attention.

Compare stage conversion

See how assigned leads move to contact, qualification, application, orientation, and hire. Always consider lead source and market differences.

Add 30/60/90/120-day retention

Connect each hire back to the recruiter and review retention checkpoints. This reveals qualified hires that continue working, not only starts.

Use call quality for coaching

Call transcripts and scorecards can show where a recruiter needs support with discovery, objections, or next steps. Use examples for coaching rather than a single score alone.
