Waltham, MA - September 21, 2006 - Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced a complimentary Webcast that will explore the growing use of measurements of "quality of hire" and organizational fit as indicators of employers´ effectiveness in recruiting the best available talent, and making use of it.
For recruiters and staffing executives, the need to track and measure quality of hire is fast becoming essential - taking its place alongside time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, and other accepted measurements of recruiting effectiveness. In a recent Authoria survey of HR executives with U.S.-based employers, 67 percent of respondents cited dissatisfaction with the how their organizations evaluate quality of hire, and 69 percent identified it as a business imperative to improve.
Additionally, in the seven years since Staffing.org began compiling its annual "Recruiting Metrics and Performance Benchmark Report," the number of responding U.S. organizations that actively measure new-hire quality has skyrocketed, from less than two percent to 40 percent.
In this live Webcast, participants will hear the unique perspectives of Staffing.org, a global authority on human capital; insights from Reuters, a global information company; and Authoria´s own expertise in talent management. The event is the sixth in the Authoria ConnectionsTM 2006 Webcast Series.
