- 11. RECRUITMENT The employee referrals –Is it not discriminating?

- 15. Cost Benefit analysis of recruitment Many aspects of recruiting can be evaluated- the effectiveness of recruiters- organization sets goals to recruiting by types of employees. For ex-a goal to a recruiter may be to hire 350 unskilled and semi skilled employees,or 100 techs,or 100 machinists or 100 managers per year. Then the organization decides who are the best recruiters. They may be those who meet or exceed quotas and those whose recruits who stay with the organization and are evaluated well by their superiors. ???
- 16. Sources of recruits can also be evaluated. For ex in a college campus recruiting the organization can divide the number of job acceptances by the number of campus interviews to compute the cost per hire at each college The methods of recruiting that are used by a company can be evaluated along various dimensions. In addition the organization can calculate the cost of each method(like advertising) and divide it by the benefits it yields(acceptance of offers). The organization can also examine how much accurate job information was provided during the recruitment process
- 17. IS THERE ANY OTHER METHOD OF EVALUATING THE COST- BENEFIT RATIO OF RECRUITMENT? DISCUSSION
- 18. Another aspect of evaluating the recruitment is known as Quality of hire. This measure can provide management with an assessment of the quality of new employees being recruited and hired. The quality of hire is calculated as follows: QH={PR+HP+HR}/N where QH= quality of recruits hired PR= average job performance ratings (20 items on scale} of new hires( for ex 4 on a 5 point scale or 20 items into 4) HP=percent of new hires promoted within one year( 35%) HR= percents retained after one year( 85%) N= number of indicators used (3)
- 19. Therefore QH= (80+35+85) /3= 66.6 The 66 percent quality of hire is a relative value.It will be up to the management to determine whether this represents an excellent,good,fair or poor level When you are evaluating recruitment strategy in the quality of hire you have to be cautious- performance ratings and promotion rates are beyond the control of the recruiter. A good new employee may leave due to lack of opportunities of promotion,inadequate performance ratings or job market conditions that have nothing to do with the effectiveness of the recruiter.
