The candidate call-back rate measures the percentage of qualified candidates contacted by a potential employer after submitting their resume or application. A high candidate call-back rate shows that the recruitment efforts are fruitful.
Candidate call back rate = Total number of candidates/ Number of candidates called back X 100%
Candidate Call back rates are important because they help with efficient monitoring of the application tracking process. It also helps with quality assessment, ensuring only the best fit candidates are selected for the job. Filtering out candidates based on their involvement with the hiring process is the best way to create a priority list. The Candidate Call Back rate determines whether you have a solid recruitment process in place, and it identifies the areas of improvement.
There are a few things recruiters can do to improve candidate call back rate-
Call-back percentage is calculated by dividing the number of candidates contacted for the next stage of the recruitment process by the total number of candidates who applied for the job. Multiply the result by 100 to obtain the percentage.
Candidate response rate refers to the percentage of individuals who reply to sourcing or recruiting emails. It is also known as the prospect response rate; this metric serves as a good indicator of a candidate’s interest in both the job and the organization.
Candidate attraction rate measures the number of candidates who viewed your job posting or description compared to the total number of candidates who applied for the position. This rate helps assess the effectiveness of your job advertisement in attracting applicants.
