Introducing: Hiring Friction

A new approach to describing recruitment performance.

What is Hiring Friction?

A measure of hiring capability effectiveness that assesses how well candidates enter, flow and exit the recruitment funnel

Typical High Friction example:

An inefficient and slow process where great candidates exit early, perhaps because of a poor experience, and poor candidates exit late

Typical Low Friction example:

A productive process operating at high speed with the right candidates getting through to the right stage, and where all candidates believe they were treated well and fairly
