Keeping hourly employees despite unattractive workplace policies – College Recruiter

For some organizations, recruitment and retention are on separate islands. One team is responsible for recruiting and then lose visibility so have no idea if the people they helped to hire quit within days or stayed for years.

Applicant tracking systems (ATS) like Cadient, however, have a massive amount of data, including the likelihood of a candidate from one source being far more likely to stay for years than a similar candidate from another source.

In today’s episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast, guest Jon Puckett of Cadient and cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Jeanette Leeds make the case that unattractive workplace policies negatively impact retention for all employees, but not equally. Improving those policies will help across the board but looking at retention data by source can also massively help not just with retention, but also with your recruitment strategies.
