This is a guest blog post by Shauna Geraghty, Head of Talent at Talkdesk. Join Shauna this week as she hosts Teamable's January webinar: Planning for Success: Setting Your 2018 Recruiting Metrics and KPIs Strategy.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to assess your Talent Acquisition team’s performance from the previous year and refine your KPI strategy for the upcoming year. At Talkdesk, we are doing just that. We had an incredible 2017, expanding into new markets, opening a new office and growing at breakneck pace. As such, it is important for us to step back and take a comprehensive approach to analyzing our Talent Acquisition team’s performance so that we can accurately plan for the new fiscal year and maintain this incredible momentum.

In modern companies, it’s no longer factories or machinery, but your people, that are the most valuable resource.Employees are the ones that develop new and innovative products, drive sales and customer success, and define the long-term viability of your organization. It’s key that your executive team and all your employees understand this new reality and appreciate how vital hiring is to the success of the company.

Recruiters and hiring managers know that their employees’ social and professional networks can be the most valuable source of pre-screened, high-quality candidates. The challenge is figuring out the right mix of incentives to encourage the optimal employee referral behaviors. As a recruiter your goal should be to encourage employees to refer relevant, passive candidates for your high-priority roles.
