The weekly recruiting blog poll results are in from last week.

The question: What is the primary focus of your recruiting metrics?

The results:

• Measuring productivity (54%)
• What metrics (26%)
• Measuring value (10%)
• A combination (value and productivity 10%)

In addition to the obvious quality of hire, there were 3 top picks for recruiting metrics presented at the Spring Kennedy Information Recruiting Conference that I previously highlighted.

Check back next week or subscribe to the recruiting blog feed for a post on creating an effective metrics portfolio.

   Thanks for the survey on the metrics, I am really working on driving home the need for recruiters to measure their success and be accountable for the job that they have been hired to do, produce quality hires. Great blog Jason. Margo
