Integrating Closed-Loop Quality of Hire Measures with Crosschq Analytics

Understanding how quality of hire affects your business outcomes depends on choosing the correct measures for an accurate picture of how they perform against other employees in your labor force.

Employee retention hinges on the right kind of support during onboarding and through the first year of employment. Too many companies fail to provide the right kind of monitoring and support required to detect performance issues early and remediate the situation before the employee leaves in frustration. 

Recognizing the top reasons why employees leave or stay at a job and figuring out how to prevent employee churn before the one-year mark can not only improve your company’s recruitment budget outlook, but can enhance productivity and lead to a better understanding of what factors are affecting your quality of hire statistics.

The Secret to Keeping Employees Around

While pay, benefits, flexibility of work schedule, managerial issues, and other direct situational reasons for employee churn are often cited as the main causes of retention problems. Hiring the right people and then listening to them are the real keys to employee retention. 

This process starts with working to identify and recruit candidates that add positively to your company culture. Many companies can instantly get closer to their organization’s diversity, equity, inclusivity, and belonging (DEIB) goals simply by using recruitment tools that help decrease unconscious bias in the hiring process, like Crosschq 360. 

Delivering a rich and rewarding onboarding experience is the next step. Once you’ve made an offer to the best candidate for the job, providing them with a smooth, supportive ramp-up to full productivity is critical. A great onboarding experience can lock down 69% of employees for at least three years.  

Automating as much of the talent acquisition and retention process as possible also can improve retention rates. It can be difficult to stay on top of multiple employees and remember to check in with them on a regular basis. 

Automating check-ins and providing employees with regular short surveys to gauge their satisfaction can help you recognize dissatisfaction in its earliest stages while giving your employees a voice they can use. 

Fostering this kind of engagement can help you develop your employees and improve Quality of Hire. Once you’re in a position with a finger on the pulse of your workforce, you can implement and integrate Quality of Hire measures in the closed loop of your recruitment and retention process.

Measuring Quality of Hire in a Closed Loop

Automating quality of hire measurement streamlines the evaluation process and makes it possible to utilize the data you have on your employees in an effective way. When you can identify what patterns point to higher Quality of Hire, you can look for them in earlier stages of your recruitment funnel.

Likewise, when you start to recognize what patterns revealed by new hire analytics mean red flags and a higher risk of low employee performance or churn, you can adjust your recruitment process to filter out these bad matches.

Important touchpoints in the quality of hire measurement journey must be identified by asking the following questions:

• When and where are signs of employee dissatisfaction becoming apparent?
• Can these signs be detected even earlier through employee surveys and monitoring?
• What is the main source of quality talent entering your organization?
• Can more high-value candidates be sourced from the same pool?
• How does candidate diversity appear to affect Quality of Hire in your organization? 
• Is your organization successfully attracting and retaining diverse candidates
• Can you spot employees with better quality of hire metrics out of the crowd?
• Are your quality of hire measures allowing you to predict candidate success?

Having a single source of truth for Quality of Hire can help you answer these questions and optimize business outcomes.
