What is Source of Hire?

A recruitment metric that identifies which channels and methods produce actual hires, used to allocate recruiting spend and optimize sourcing strategy.

Why it matters in hiring

Source of Hire 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.
