The candidate quality by referrer report takes your organization's referral culture a step further by considering the caliber of each referrer's submitted candidates rather than solely the volume. The report assigns a quality percentage to each referrer who has submitted candidates. This percentage can be used to identify which referrers provide the highest quality candidates.
Note: The referrer metric in this report is pulled from the Who Gets Credit field on each candidate, so there may be sources listed that are not strictly referrers.
The quality percent is computed by looking at the average distance a candidate travels through the pipeline. If every candidate was hired, the quality percentage be 100%. If every candidate was rejected in the first stage, it would be 0%.
Example: Imagine Jane is referred by one of your employees. She has a pretty strong background, so she makes it through 5 of your 7 stages. If she was the only person referred by that employee, your quality % for that row would be 5/7, or roughly 71%.
