No Post-Hire Data

Why failing to track post-hire performance prevents continuous improvement of recruitment processes.

Beyond the Offer: Addressing No Post-Hire Data Collection

Many organizations celebrate the offer acceptance as the end of the recruitment journey. However, a significant gap lies in the lack of post-hire data collection. Companies often don't track how successful their hires actually turn out, losing out on critical insights that could continuously improve their recruitment process. Without this vital feedback loop, hiring strategies remain stagnant, making it impossible to truly understand what works, what doesn't, and how to optimize for long-term success.

The Core of the Problem

The absence of post-hire data collection stems from:

  • Disconnection Between HR/Recruitment & Performance: Recruitment's role is seen as ending at onboarding, with no formal handover or feedback loop from performance management.
  • Lack of Tracking Mechanisms: Not having systems or processes in place to follow new hire performance over time.
  • Focus on Short-Term Metrics: Prioritizing time-to-hire or cost-per-hire over long-term quality of hire.
  • Absence of Defined Success Metrics: Not clearly defining what success looks like for new hires at 3, 6, or 12 months.
  • Manual & Time-Consuming Processes: The perceived burden of collecting and analyzing post-hire data manually.

Impact on Your Organization

The consequences of neglecting post-hire data are profound:

  • Suboptimal Hiring Decisions: Continuing to use strategies that may not actually yield high-performing, long-term employees.
  • Ineffective Recruitment Strategies: Inability to refine job descriptions, interview questions, or sourcing channels based on actual hire performance.
  • Higher Attrition Rates: Not identifying patterns that lead to new hire turnover, allowing issues to persist.
  • Wasted Resources: Investing in recruitment activities that don't translate into desired business outcomes.
  • Stagnant Organizational Growth: Your talent acquisition function doesn't learn or evolve, impacting the overall quality of your workforce.
  • Difficulty Justifying ROI: Unable to demonstrate the true value and impact of recruitment efforts on business success.

Traditional (Often Ineffective) Solutions

Companies sometimes try to address this by:

  • Asking hiring managers informally how new hires are doing.
  • Relying solely on annual performance reviews, which are too infrequent and disconnected from the hiring process.
  • Implementing general employee engagement surveys that don't link back to hiring source or method.

These methods are insufficient for gathering systematic, actionable data for recruitment optimization.
