Failed Hire Rate

operationalbehavioral · recruitment · percentage · organization

The percentage of hires who quit or are terminated within their first year.

How it’s computed

Formula: (Hires who left <12 months / Total hires in that cohort) x 100
Measurement model: operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency

What it operationalizes

This metric measures the construct(s) below from operational data. Through them, it connects to the meta-analytic relationship network — the bridge from what you measure operationally to what the science knows.
