Which of the following sets are recruitment KPIs?

• A. Time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, and cost-per-hire
• B. Page views on careers site
• C. Training hours, employee satisfaction, and gross sales
• D. Number of interviews only

Answer: (A)

Recruitment KPIs are metrics that show how effectively the hiring process delivers the right people in a timely and cost-efficient way. The set that includes time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, and cost-per-hire is the best fit because it covers three critical outcomes: speed (how long it takes to fill a role), effectiveness (how well new hires perform and fit the role), and cost efficiency (the expense involved in bringing someone on board). These metrics directly reflect the success and efficiency of recruiting.

The other options don’t capture recruitment success in the same way. Page views on a careers site measure visibility or interest but not whether those views convert to hires. Training hours, employee satisfaction, and gross sales relate to development, engagement, and business results after hiring, not the recruitment process itself. The number of interviews alone tracks activity, not whether hires are quality or cost-effective.
