There\u2019s no unique formula to measure quality of hire, which is why it\u2019s often so difficult for teams to track and improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Generally, there is no one-size-fits-all metric for quality of hire because it depends on what your priority is. Common quality-of-hire metrics include turnover rates, job performance, employee engagement, and cultural fit measured by 360 ratings. <\/p>\n<cite>Ji-A Min, Research Analyst at <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/ideal-candidate-profile\">Ideal Candidate<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that how you calculate your overall quality of hire score depends on your needs, internal processes, and preferred outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are eight of the most common ways \u2014 all are great starting points for measuring this metric, but you can adapt and customize the way you measure QoH depending on your organization\u2019s needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use one or more of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. End of probation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most new hires are expected to showcase what they can offer a company within a specific period. Typically, the period to reach full productivity is three months from their start date (or 90 days), which is just long enough to evaluate the hires\u2019 on-the-job performance and decide whether to continue employment, extend the probation period, or terminate the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ramp-up time for new hires<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramp-up time refers to how long it takes new hires to reach their full potential within the organization. This will likely differ according to the department and company. In some cases, it can take up to 90 days for a&nbsp;new hire&nbsp;to reach full autonomy, or much shorter for entry-level roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways to measure ramp-up time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u261d\ufe0f <strong>Observe and take notes<\/strong> during the first few weeks on the job. Precise? Definitely. But it\u2019s also pretty time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u270c\ufe0f <strong>Ask hiring managers<\/strong> how the new hire is doing after 30, 60, and 90 days. This is less precise but still provides valuable data for the process.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\ud83e\udde0 top tip<\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p><strong>Time To Achieve (TTA)<\/strong> = How long do you expect new hires to reach their potential<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actual Time To Achieve (ATTA)<\/strong> = How long it\u2019s actually taken new hires to reach their potential<\/p>\n<p>If these numbers are equal, you\u2019re on track. The same goes for TTA being higher than ATTA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Acceptable productivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a variation of the ramp-up time metric. It measures how long until a new hire is productive enough to work independently without assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference is that this metric looks at overall productivity, not just how fast someone reaches their full potential. Measure this hire score using the same methods as for ramp-up time.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\ud83e\udde0 expert tip<\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p>It\u2019s also worth using <strong>role-specific KPIs<\/strong> to measure job performance. Example: Imagine you\u2019ve hired a Social Media Manager. You\u2019d track how they\u2019ve helped increase your brand\u2019s followers, engagement, and other key metrics to indicate productivity and impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<p>We spoke to <strong>Steve O\u2019Halloran<\/strong>, Talent Acquisition Lead at <a href=\"https:\/\/embeddable.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Embeddable<\/a>, who stresses the importance of being consistent with your KPI strategies. He warns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA crucial and often overlooked aspect is that the criteria you use to evaluate candidates in the interview process must be tightly linked to how you evaluate their performance once they&#8217;re through the door. Hiring someone for ABC, then evaluating them against DEF once they start the job, sets nobody up for success. Hiring teams getting this right from the start will save a lot of heartache down the road.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Hiring manager satisfaction rating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring manager satisfaction is a vital <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/recruiting-metrics\">recruitment metric<\/a> that measures how satisfied the hiring manager is with the company\u2019s hiring process and new employees. As hiring managers aren\u2019t part of the HR department (in most cases), they can provide valuable insight into how effective the recruitment process is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken a few months after the new hire starts, hiring manager satisfaction surveys optimize the recruiting process and create a better quality of hire. Crucially, they differ from candidate satisfaction, which looks at jobseekers\u2019 experience of your talent acquisition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Job performance reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance reviews offer a formal approach to measuring quality of hire and understanding how well a new hire is doing. Usually, a hiring manager conducts these reviews and includes a score on a scale (1-5, for example) to assist in measuring quality.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\ud83e\udde0 steal our scale<\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p><strong>On a 1-5 scale, with 5 being the lowest, how would you rate:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcad Your knowledge of the role<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcad Your compatibility with other team members<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcad Your ability to complete tasks on time<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcad The unique ideas you bring to the compan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<p>For a more accurate and well-rounded performance review, incorporate <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2001\/01\/getting-360-degree-feedback-right\">360-degree feedback<\/a>&nbsp;from a variety of sources, such as peers, managers, direct reports, self-evaluations, and other relevant stakeholders. You\u2019ll gain a wide range of perspectives, spot trends, and eliminate any bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Promotions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Promotions are a lagging indicator but a valuable way to measure the quality of hire. Promotion rate and promotion frequency are standard&nbsp;quality of hire metrics, calculated by tracking how many&nbsp;new hires&nbsp;are promoted within their first year and how often they are promoted since joining the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a no-brainer. Quality candidates will get promoted more often and more quickly, which means that their overall quality of hire is superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Culture fit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Culture fit is notoriously hard to measure as a qualitative metric, because, company cultures are equally as hard to define. But this is still an important area of focus, as bad <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/organizational-culture-fit\">culture fit<\/a> can significantly impact your cost per hire. Consider the following questions as part of your evaluation process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the hire uphold and adhere to the company values?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are they a good representation of the organization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do they contribute positively to team dynamics and collaboration?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these are inherently subjective, the best way to gather meaningful insights is to ask the people who work with the new hire day-to-day. Send a short survey to their team and manager a few months after the start date to gauge how well they\u2019ve integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Employee turnover and retention rate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turnover and retention rates show whether your new hires stick around long enough to make a meaningful impact. Start by tracking first-year turnover, or simply how many hires leave the company within the first 12 months. A high rate signals deeper issues with onboarding or role expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a more positive lens, new hire retention rates explore how many new employees are still with the company after their first year. Both metrics highlight patterns, like certain roles, departments, or hiring managers with consistently stronger or weaker outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8\">\n            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">Further Reading:<\/span>\n            <div class=\"border-t-[3px] border-b border-yellow-100 py-4 pb-2 lg:grid lg:gap-8 lg:grid-cols-2\">\n                                    <div class=\"mb-4 lg:mb-2\">\n                        <a class=\"flex items-center hover:italic hover:text-dark-purple-80\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/employees-turnover\" title=\"Employee Turnover Rate: Definition, Formula &amp; 2024 Trends\" aria-label=\"Employee Turnover Rate: Definition, Formula &amp; 2024 Trends\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full w-14 h-14 mr-4 object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Calculating-Employee-Turnover-Rate-112x67.png\" alt=\"Employee Turnover Rate: Definition, Formula &amp; 2024 Trends\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\">\n                            <span class=\"font-semibold font-heading leading-snug\">Employee Turnover Rate: Definition, Formula &amp; 2024 Trends<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"mb-4 lg:mb-2\">\n                        <a class=\"flex items-center hover:italic hover:text-dark-purple-80\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/employee-attrition\" title=\"Employee Attrition Rate: How to Calculate &amp; Improve It\" aria-label=\"Employee Attrition Rate: How to Calculate &amp; Improve It\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full w-14 h-14 mr-4 object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Ways-to-Reduce-Employee-Attrition-112x67.png\" alt=\"Employee Attrition Rate: How to Calculate &amp; Improve It\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\">\n                            <span class=\"font-semibold font-heading leading-snug\">Employee Attrition Rate: How to Calculate &amp; Improve It<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"Metrics to help you measure quality of hire\" class=\"wp-image-55428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-1536x983.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-2048x1311.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-631x404.jpg 631w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-1152x737.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-937x600.jpg 937w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-1259x806.jpg 1259w, https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Metrics-to-help-you-measure-quality-of-hire-112x72.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to improve your quality of hire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving something that\u2019s extremely difficult to measure might sound like Mission: Impossible. But once you define what quality means for your team and set clear benchmarks, it\u2019s actually very doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to build a hiring process that consistently brings in top performers, then sets them up for success. Here\u2019s how to make that happen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.

A good platform should let you can set pass thresholds to automatically filter out unqualified applicants, track how different hiring steps are performing, and spot patterns that lead to better hires over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also offer dashboards that turns raw candidate data into clear, actionable takeaways \u2014 helping your team work faster and smarter, without losing sight of what matters: hiring great people who stay and succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8\">\n            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">Further Reading:<\/span>\n            <div class=\"border-t-[3px] border-b border-yellow-100 py-4 pb-2 lg:grid lg:gap-8 lg:grid-cols-2\">\n                                    <div class=\"mb-4 lg:mb-2\">\n                        <a class=\"flex items-center hover:italic hover:text-dark-purple-80\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/recruiting-funnel\" title=\"How to Build a Data-Driven Recruiting Funnel (And Which Metrics to Track)\" aria-label=\"How to Build a Data-Driven Recruiting Funnel (And Which Metrics to Track)\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full w-14 h-14 mr-4 object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Building-a-Data-Driven-Recruiting-Funnel-101-112x67.png\" alt=\"How to Build a Data-Driven Recruiting Funnel (And Which Metrics to Track)\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\">\n                            <span class=\"font-semibold font-heading leading-snug\">How to Build a Data-Driven Recruiting Funnel (And Which Metrics to Track)<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"mb-4 lg:mb-2\">\n                        <a class=\"flex items-center hover:italic hover:text-dark-purple-80\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/cost-of-hiring-an-employee\" title=\"The True Cost of Hiring an Employee in 2024\" aria-label=\"The True Cost of Hiring an Employee in 2024\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full w-14 h-14 mr-4 object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/The-True-Cost-of-Hiring-an-Employee-in-2024-1-112x68.png\" alt=\"The True Cost of Hiring an Employee in 2024\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\">\n                            <span class=\"font-semibold font-heading leading-snug\">The True Cost of Hiring an Employee in 2024<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

This can lead to a high <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/calculate-employee-turnover\">turnover rate<\/a> and a drop in productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this kind of miscommunication or misalignment, <strong>create a <\/strong><strong>candidate scorecard<\/strong> that includes factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hard and soft skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The level of knowledge the candidate needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long they\u2019ve worked in specific or adjacent roles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of relying on resumes or LinkedIn profiles, scorecards objectively measure the quality of candidates during the interview process and prevent the hiring team from acting on impulse or being influenced by their <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/unconscious-bias\">unconscious bias<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"block text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\ud83d\udd25\u00a0top tip<\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p>Don\u2019t want to build your candidate scorecard from scratch?
