What is HR Metrics?

Quantitative measures used to track, evaluate, and report on workforce activities and outcomes, from hiring speed and employee turnover to training costs and revenue per employee, providing the data foundation for evidence-based HR decisions.

Why it matters in hiring

HR Metrics comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
