Episode notes

In this solo masterclass from Solving the People Puzzle, Our founder and CEO, Francois de Wet, gives you the ultimate guide to the five essential talent acquisition KPIs. Drawing on success stories and insights from Wamly's clients , Francois goes beyond definitions to provide practical tools, techniques, and next steps you can implement in your business right away. In this episode, you will learn: Time to Hire: Why this is more than a number - it’s a direct reflection of your candidate experience and where key bottlenecks like diary management or screening are hiding in your process. Cost per Hire: How to unpack the true cost of a hire by analyzing subdomains like attraction costs, technology subscriptions, and the hourly cost of your interview panel. Quality of Hire: Arguably the most important metric. Learn how to connect performance data back to the original hiring source (e.g., LinkedIn vs. Referrals) to see which channels deliver true top performers. Candidate Experience: How to use the concept of "candidate listening" and technology to gather feedback that is a "gift," not criticism, to help you optimize every touchpoint of your hiring cycle.
