Qualified Candidates Per Job (Rate)
Qualified Candidates per Job measures the average number of candidates that successfully pass your initial, post application, recruitment stage


How do you calculate Qualified Candidates per Job?
To calculate your Qualified Candidates per Job (average) simply divide the total number of candidates who have passed your initial screening stage by the total number of jobs.
Further, you can calculate your Qualified Candidate Rate by dividing your qualified candidates by the total number of candidates. Your Qualified Candidate Rate is one of the key measures for comparing your candidate sources as it is qualitative - it indicates the quality of candidates as opposed to a quantitative metric such as Source of Candidates.
Qualified Candidates per Job (average) will give you a benchmark, but there are some important criteria that you should consider:
- Not all jobs are equal - so an overall average may not be too meaningful.
- You may have different recruitment stages for different role types.
It may be better to measure this KPI for different departments, role levels and so on.
