The interviewer would like to understand better the key performance indicators you needed to meet in a more recent role and how precisely those KPIs were measured. A good interviewer will recognize that the top candidates always understand how their performance is measured and where they landed regarding their performance against others in a similar role.
It is a red flag to an interviewer if the interviewee responds with 'I don't know,' or worse yet - 'My company didn't measure my performance in any way.' Every company pays attention to employee performance metrics; it's just that some ways are more evident than others.
Some ways that your employer might measure your performance:
- The rate of absence, late days, and sick days
- Setting specific objectives for you related to a task
- Amount of defective work submitted or amount of work returned
- Human Capital ROI
- Error counting
- Timed tasks
- Employee retention rates (for managers)
- Revenue Per Employee or Profit per FTE (Full Time Equivalent)
- The willingness of clients to recommend you or your work
- Feedback provided by coworkers and management
- Number of sales
- Scheduling errors
- Safety days
- First- call resolution or call quality and handling (primarily for call-center environments)
- Quality of contacts generated

First and foremost, nobody got kidnapped, injured, or killed. We took a significant risk bringing 200 people from 40 countries to the coast of Kenya and into the Indian Ocean with Somali Pirates.
Following that was participant experience, the quantity of content generated and shared, following year tickets purchased, that we were profitable, and on-going engagement within the community.
