While staffing KPI examples like the ones above can be helpful as you start thinking about the right recruiting KPIs for your firm, the key to getting the right KPI dashboard for your company is not just to copy another company's existing list. If you want to drive long-term value for your company, you need to start by thinking about the business results critical to your staffing firm and measuring employee performance.
One of the best places to start planning your staffing KPI list is with your critical numbers. These numbers are usually determined in your Annual Planning and Quarterly Planning sessions and should be the highest priority KPIs on your dashboard. Then, could you consider what other results you are trying to achieve this quarter above and beyond your critical numbers? This will help you develop results indicators to reveal the current health of your business based on past results. From there, think about what a leading indicator KPI might be for each of your results indicators so that you can look into the future health of your company and avoid being blindsided. It would be best if you had the right balance of metrics on your staffing KPI dashboard to determine where you have been and where you are going.
