Three Trends
Race for the Basin:

Capital budgets have grown by

factors of 2 and 3 times Keen and growing focus on cycletimes, speed of execution

Energy Sector Maturing:

Increased emphasis on process Growing interest in measurement

and accountability

Outsourcing of all or part of recruitment

Trends in Calgary point to an increased focus on NUMERICAL METRICS, creating an industrialized process aimed at reducing costs, cycle time and increasing productivity and ROI measures *September 2006 Business in Calgary magazine

The bottom line is, however it is defined there is a TALENT SHORTAGE looming *The Economist, Oct 7, 2006

RECRUITS PROSPECTS

HR OPERATIONS

14

Strategic Alignment
Question How many Candidates do you need? Are you meeting Executive expectations? Are we getting our moneys worth? Metric Number of Candidates you need to find by level, role, and skill set. Satisfaction survey and interviews with key business leaders. ROI of recruitment activity in relation to avoided cost of turnover.

15

Prospects
Question Which methods for finding new talent are most effective? Metric Response rates for all recruiting tactics: web site, advertising in media and direct mail, job fairs or other events, referrals etc. Rate of talent acquisition by level, role and skill set (time to hire). Referral rate. Turnaround time for candidate inquiries received via Web site, email, phone, regular mail, referrals and events.

How long does it take to find the types of talent you need? Are we a preferred employer? How quickly do you respond to qualified talent?

16

HR Operations
Question Metric

How do you decline candidates who are not appropriate while ensuring that they send you referrals? How can you decline them graciously?
Are your internal clients satisfied with your ability to support their recruitment needs? How quickly are we filling positions?

Time to decision and time to followthrough communication and appropriate closure.

Internal Client Satisfaction Surveys and interviews. Cycle time from when the need is identified to start date. Aged request or vacancy reporting.

How much does it cost to support the recruiting process?

Time and money associated with recruiting.

17

Recruits

How quickly do new recruits become functional in their role?

Can you manage/handle their referrals? Are the new recruits staying?

On-boarding time. Job progression rate.

Conversion rate. Number of repeat referrals. Early days (3-6 months) turnover ratio.

Questions ??

How to Calculate Common Metrics:

Formulas necessarily differ from organization to organization and MUST consider both hard and soft costs that impact the organization most profoundly. These are just the formulas creating the numbers that fill the formulas is the trick! Metric Accession Rate Description New Hires + Replacement Hires Total Headcount __ Hiring Costs__ _ New + Replacement Hires Days to Fill (from requisition) New + Replacement Hires Offers Accepted Offers Extended
23

Cost Per Hire

Cycle Time (time to fill)

Offer Acceptance Rate

The Cost of Turnover

Direct Costs Separation Costs:
Exit Interviews interviewers / interviewees time Administrative Costs destroying files, removing individual from electronic records etc. Unused Vacation Time (payouts) Lost Client Revenues - service fewer clients during vacancy and training periods Overtime Pay paying other employees to assume leavers work Case consultation (transferring clients from leaver to others)

Replacement Costs:
