Leveraging HR Metrics for an Effective Recruitment and Selection Process With Special Reference to the Manufacturing Sector in Coimbatore

Abstract

Any organization's growth and stability depend on its recruitment and selection process, which attracts top talent. HR metrics quantify and rate human resource processes. This study aims to integrate human resource metrics into the recruitment and selection process throughout. In this exploratory study, human resource managers discuss metrics and their use in evaluating recruitment and selection procedures. Manufacturing HR managers are being surveyed about the KPIs in question. Most HR managers (out of 15, at least 10 HR managers) have reported nine metrics as actively used in their firm, while a minority (out of 15, less than 10 HR managers) have reported 10 metrics as rarely used and six calculated metrics. This chapter will interest researchers and practitioners who identify, design, and deploy metrics to measure an organization's recruitment and selection process. The chapter identifies metrics to demonstrate how metrics encourage HR practitioners to adopt and measure skilled workforce in recruitment and selection. This contributes to the HR metrics debate.
