Determining expected shortages and surpluses allows the organization to plan how to address these challenges.
Goal Setting and Strategic Planning

Evaluating the Quality of a Source
By comparing yield ratios of different recruitment sources, we can determine which source is best or most efficient for type of vacancy.

Divide that cost by number of people hired to fill that type of vacancy.
