Judging Recruiters

How good a job are your company's recruiters doing? Staffing.org, an organization that collects data for human resources professionals, has released a checklist to help you find out.

According to Staffing.org, one crucial-and obvious-measure of recruiters' performance is hires completed. That number is more important that requisition load, the group says, since it doesn't include future or low-priority hires.

However, there are a number of issues that can affect a recruiter's success in hiring, and it's important to consider these factors when evaluating how different individuals are performing.

Here are some of the questions from Staffing.org's 2010 Corporate Recruiting Report, to ask about recruiters when setting quotas and considering performance:

Quality: Is a manager asking for exceptionally high quality hires?

Passive vs. Active Candidates: Passive candidates are two to three times harder to recruit.

Sources: Does one recruiter have access to better resources, such as referrals from a company program, than another?

Hiring managers: Do they schedule interviews quickly? How many candidates do they ask to interview before making a hire?

Structure: Are they a sources, a selector or an end-to-end recruiter?
