What is Good?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is the first question we often ask a new client during the Honeymoon phase. After listening to answers ranging from dark chocolate and long walks on the beach to Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and puppy Sploots, we share a laugh, often debate, and then clarify the question: what is a \u201cGood\u201d candidate?<\/p>\n

In our industry, there is no greater question to ask a client because the answer will determine how we measure our success together. If your recruiting partner neglects to discuss the definition of source effectiveness, then I\u2019d start asking some tougher questions.<\/p>\n

Just like in kindergarten, there are no wrong answers. Some clients think it\u2019s all about the hires, while others give credit to simply passing first-round screener questions. The reality is, classifying a candidate as \u201cGood\u201d is often an aggregate of multiple disposition statuses in your hiring funnel.<\/p>\n

From our perspective, since there are numerous variables that affect the actual hiring of a candidate, certainly beyond the control of today\u2019s online sources, including time, benefits, cultural fit, or even a moody hiring manager, it\u2019s best to focus on multiple indicators to judge source ROI.<\/p>\n

This can get complicated as your agency must know how to track, collect, combine, analyze, and report on a combination of sources and down-funnel data to be an asset to your organization. Without this level of granularity, you are simply spending money indiscriminately, and no one wants that except for the job boards.<\/p>\n

At Buyer Advertising, we will never assume what \u201cGood\u201d means to you. If we did, then we\u2019d be bad at our jobs. Want to know more about our unique approach to source analytics or simply curious about puppy Sploots? Contact us today. We\u2019ve got some questions for you too.<\/p>\n
