Written by Debra Carney | Oct 16, 2022 12:10:39 AM

It’s been an exciting week at Crosschq—we released our inaugural Quality of Hire report from the Crosschq Data Labs! 

 

The purpose of this report was to educate and enlighten our Human Resources and Talent Acquisition community about Quality of Hire in order to show the connection data plays in the hiring process on business outcomes to drive actionable talent intelligence. 

 

We even got props from Tim Sackett!


Here’s a little preview of the report itself…

AN EXCERPT FROM THE CROSSCHQ Q (QUALITY OF HIRE REPORT)



Quality of  Hire  (QoH)  has historically been one of the most elusive business concepts for talent teams to standardize and measure.  Due to complex and fragmented data systems that are siloed and lack critical inputs, most companies struggle to reliably connect pre-hire candidate intelligence directly with quantifiable post-hire business outcomes.

 

Through Crosschq’s Talent Intelligence Cloud™ we have finally solved this problem. By connecting millions of data points from dozens of sources and 

enriching that data with advanced surveys, we enable companies to connect the dots and get on-demand, actionable insights that are based on hiring outcomes.

 

To date, we have touched over 24 million hiring decisions enabling our machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to get smarter and ultimately more predictive.

 

The result is the industry’s most powerful recruiting analytics platform that is based on business outcomes.

 

Once activated by an organization, the Crosschq platform not only helps optimize core recruiting programs but ultimately establishes a framework for making Quality of Hire a reliable North Star Metric (NSM) for the entire talent team.

 

In this report, our industry experts and data scientists have highlighted five radical insights from our outcome data. We cover a range of topics from sourcing, interviewing, and assessments and hope that our findings are thought-provoking. Our goal is to share our unique perspective to help inform the industry about the importance of establishing a modern outcome-based approach to recruiting analytics.
