Pending Applications

HR Metric – Pending Applications

What (Definition)

Acquiring new recruiters is part of the company’s growing process. Identifying the need for fresh employees will lead to the opening of certain positions. As a company, we will receive many job applications from the day the vacancy is advertised. 

Not all the applications are going to go through. Applications that meet the job role requirements will be accepted and included in a screening process; some applications will be rejected due to their unsuitability. Then some applications do not fall into any of the categories. Those will be set aside as pending applications.

Why (Benefits)

The Human Resources department prepares operational metrics that provide insight into the pending application status of the company. It provides the following details and helps to make better decisions in the recruitment process.

How (Calculation?)

Calculating the pending applications is beneficial to the company as it provides a clear understanding of how to plan and allocate its resources, such as time, money, and labor, effectively.
