What Is A Hiring Batting Average?

After six months on the job, new hires should be rated as being below, meeting or exceeding expectations.

Using this simple rating as a guide, the people who recommended the new hire should be given a hiring batting average.

An average of .800 means that 80% of the candidates recommended met or exceeded expectations.

You can also use this method to measure other factors like:
- the sources of the good and bad hires.
- the assessment process used
- the selling points used

The Power of Numbers

LOOK FOR TRENDS.

To learn from numbers you have to watch them over time to see how they change.

What you are really looking at is whether that number went up or down, and how it compares to the industry average.

When you look at them regularly, you develop a feel for how external conditions and internal decisions affect the trendlines that matter to you.

Numbers can provide you with good information about your industry and your customers, and that can be valuable for your decision making process.
