The Yield Ratio is a crucial metric used in the recruitment process to evaluate a recruitment strategy's effectiveness. It is the ratio of applicants who make it to the next stage of the recruitment process, such as interviews or assessments, to those who pass through the initial screening process. The yield ratio aids HR professionals and recruiters in assessing the efficacy of their recruitment strategies and determining areas for improvement. A high yield ratio indicates a successful recruitment process, whereas a low yield ratio may indicate problems with the recruitment process, such as inadequate job postings, inadequate candidate sourcing, or excessively stringent screening criteria.
