Quality of Hire

Updated:

4/14/26

Quality of hire measures how well a new employee performs and contributes value after being hired. Key metrics include job performance ratings, time to productivity, retention rate, manager satisfaction, and contribution to team goals within the first 6 to 12 months. Quality of hire data reveals whether hiring decisions successfully identified strong performers and good fits. Organisations track quality of hire by comparing outcomes across different hiring channels, assessment methods, and selection criteria to understand which approaches predict success. Declining quality of hire typically signals that selection criteria need revision or that assessments are not identifying the right candidates. Tracking this metric over time is what separates data-driven hiring from guesswork.
