• Most managers try to follow a policy of filling job
vacancies above the entry-level position through
promotions and transfers. By filling vacancies in this
way, an organization can capitalize on the investment
it has made in recruiting, selecting, training, and
developing its current employees, who might look for
jobs elsewhere if they lack promotion opportunities.
• There are Advantages and Disadvantages to both.

Recruiting Metrics (cont.)
• Example:

PR = Average 3.5 on a 5.0 scale = 70%

HP = Of 100 hires made one year ago, 75 are
meeting acceptable productivity levels = 75%

HR 5 20% turnover = 80% HR

N=3

Quality of Hire = (70 + 75 + 80) / 3 = 75
The result is a quality level of 75 percent for new
employees hired during the year.
