🎯 What are Benchmarks?

Benchmarks provide a metric for you to compare your performance with the performance of others. By understanding benchmarks, you can identify areas of strength and areas where improvement is needed. Ultimately, they help you determine which areas of your recruitment funnel deserve your focus in the endeavor of making your candidate experience a competitive advantage. ✨

If you're eager to dive deeper into the world of benchmarks, we've got some fantastic articles lined up just for you! πŸ“šπŸ’‘ Here are our top recommendations:

βš™οΈ How are Benchmarks Calculated?

In Talenthub, benchmarks are calculated in two categories: Global Benchmarks and Industry Benchmarks.

  1. Global Benchmark 🌍

    The global benchmark is calculated by taking the average of the different scores from every organisation on the talenthub platform and then calculating the overall average.
    ​
    It provides a comprehensive overview of the performance across all organisations.


    ​

  2. Industry Benchmark 🏒

    The industry benchmark is calculated by considering the overall average scores of organizations in specific industries. This benchmark allows you to compare your data with organizations operating in the same industry as yourself, providing industry-specific insights.

Who am I being compared to?

🀐 While we are unable to disclose the names of all customers who provide candidate feedback, we encourage you to reach out to your dedicated candidate experience representative. They may be able to share a name or two to give you a better understanding of the comparison group.
