6 Process Adjustments to Improve Application Completion Rates

Hiring for Roles vs. Hiring for Skills in Volume Recruitment
 

6. Track and optimize your funnel data

Sometimes, improving your application completion rate is just a matter of trial and error. With the right application technology, you can track your recruitment funnel metrics to see where the biggest drop-off rates are, and adjust those stages as needed. 

For example, if a high number of candidates are dropping off when doing a personality questionnaire, consider replacing it with a Situational Judgement Test (SJT) that’s more interactive and shorter to complete, but still measures the same skills and personality and facets you need in order to assess if a candidate is a right fit. 

Essentially, it’s about using the metrics you hold to optimize your application journey and provide the best possible experience for your candidates.

Next steps 

Tracking your recruitment metrics will give you the data insights you need to understand where candidates are leaving the application process so you can work out why they’re dropping off, and what you can do to improve your conversion rates. 

By consistently learning from your data and taking steps to improve your job application process, you’ll not only keep drop-offs to an absolute minimum, but in the longer-term, you’ll improve your quality of hire and retention rates too.
