Hiring software company Greenhouse released new capabilities that give recruiters and hiring teams a structured way to set, track and measure their work against hiring goals. Greenhouse Goals helps talent acquisition teams set goals at an individual or company-wide level, offering greater transparency into their performance and visibility into areas of improvement.
Over half of candidates – around 58% – expect to hear back about their initial application from companies in one week or less , according to the Greenhouse Candidate Experience Report. So, companies need to consistently look for new ways to improve the hiring process. By tracking against their goals, Greenhouse said, recruiting teams can use data to see where they’re falling behind and make changes that should have a positive impact on their time-to-hire goals.
