I started this blog as an open forum for recruiters to exchange their ideas and  feelings to better our profession.  Please feel free to respond to any of my ranting or open up new topics for discussion.  At all times these thoughts must be presented in a professional manner that encourages participation and are a credit to our industry.

I also encourage candidates for employment to ask questions or state problems they have had with recruiters in the past.  Your input is vital to our success.  After all, you need to be just as happy about your new (or future) employment for your continued usage of our services. 

I ask you to identify yourself but I will withhold identification posted if requested.

I reserve the right to not post or edit content to adhere to the above standards of conduct.

Cost per Hire - Question

DateTuesday, November 6, 2007 at 02:17PM

Cost per hire is always a touchy question.  It can vary by skill set, years in experience and area of the country greatly.  BUT, if your company tracks this or you can estimate the number, let's see if we can help Dawn with her question.  Feel free to contact Dawn directly, comment here or email me and I'll summarize the numbers for her.

I was requested by one of my C-Level's to provide metrics during one of the upcoming management meetings for Cost Per Hire compared to the industry (defense) or nationwide.

Problem:  I can come up with CPH for my current hires this year to date.  BUT, it would take me months to come up with reasonably accurate statistics for either the defense industry or nationwide.

Question:  Would anyone know where I could "LOOK" to find these stats for the last few years? 

If you would like to share 'generic' stats for CPH within your company, without giving me proprietary info, I'd be happy to share back my compilation(s) from those who have responded.

Answers can be e-mailed to me directly at:

Thanks!
