Quality of Hire

operationalbehavioral · recruitment · score · individual

New-hire performance/ramp/retention composite.

How it’s computed

Formula

composite of new-hire performance, ramp, retention

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.

What we know

Synthesized Bayesian priors over relationships involving this metric’s construct(s) — the meta-analytic evidence, with 95% confidence intervals and between-study heterogeneity (I²). Follow a row for the full distribution, contributing studies, and code.

The evidence

Attributed quotes from open-access papers, classified for stance against the relationship. Sourced and classified by Principia (no third-party feed) — displayable under each paper’s license.

“However, structured interviews, where candidates are asked a consistent set of questions with clear criteria to assess the quality of responses, are the top ‐ ranked predictors of job performance (Sackett et al., 2022).” supports
