      Answer Example

      "I have used many different types of metrics in the past. The type of metrics you use in recruiting is often based on the specific organization and jobs that you recruit for. In the past, I have used time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, and attrition in the first year. I have also been using a new metric for quality of hire. We use this metric to track how new hires perform. We then compare the stats with the employee's specific information to see if we can identify patterns in quality candidates. I also find it very important to use sourcing metrics to find out where our best hires are sourced from so we can focus our recruitment advertising budgets in those spaces."
