If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the “metrics maze” of modern recruiting, you’re not alone. The pressure is coming from every direction: burned-out teams, pipelines filled with AI-generated resumes, and constant demands to prove the ROI of your tech stack. It’s a lot to manage.
According to Gartner’s Future of Work Trends 2025, employee well-being and engagement are now central to organizational success. That shift matters for recruiting analytics because when metrics ignore well-being, they often miss what truly drives performance and retention.
So how do you find your way out?
Mastering recruiting analytics today means moving beyond surface-level activity to uncover meaningful insights. This session will help you refocus on the data that actually moves the needle and build a more efficient, human-centered hiring process.
What you’ll learn:
- See beyond the dashboard by identifying metrics that reflect burnout and team capacity, not just application volume
- Uncover the hidden costs of inauthenticity by spotting data points that reveal the impact of low-quality or AI-generated applicants
- Translate candidate experience into numbers by measuring how well your outreach is truly engaging and converting talent
- Build a business case leadership can’t ignore by using data to tell a story that connects recruiting to business results
This isn’t just another webinar about metrics. It’s an honest conversation about making hiring more effective, more human, and less overwhelming. Join us to walk away with practical tools you can actually use, not just another dashboard to manage.
