Hiring Friction ยท Component 11

Performance Measurement & Benchmarking

Are we measuring our hiring performance?

What it is

Whether you measure how hiring is performing and benchmark it against a meaningful standard.

Why it matters

Without measurement, friction stays invisible and nothing improves on purpose.

Signs of high friction

  • No agreed metrics
  • No view of where candidates drop
  • No comparison over time or against market

What low friction looks like

  • Measures span efficiency, quality and business impact
  • Performance is reviewed regularly
  • Hiring is benchmarked against comparable organisations
