Overview of Offer Acceptance Rate (OAR) in Horilla HRMS
Recruitment is a crucial process for any organization, and its effectiveness can significantly impact overall business success. Hiring the right talent is not just about finding skilled professionals but also about ensuring they accept the job offer and join the company. This is where the Offer Acceptance Rate (OAR) comes into play.
In Horilla HRMS, the OAR is a key performance indicator that helps HR managers track how many candidates, after being hired, accept their job offers. A high OAR suggests a strong recruitment process and attractive job offers, while a low OAR may indicate issues such as inadequate compensation, poor candidate experience, or strong competition from other employers. By monitoring and improving OAR, companies can enhance their hiring success, optimize recruitment strategies, and reduce costs associated with repeated hiring efforts.
Horilla HRMS makes it easy for HR teams to track, analyze, and improve the Offer Acceptance Rate through its Onboarding module and Recruitment Dashboard. With real-time insights, HR professionals can make informed decisions to increase candidate offer acceptance, ultimately improving the efficiency of the hiring process.
What is Offer Acceptance Rate (OAR)?
The Offer Acceptance Rate (OAR) is the ratio of total hired candidates to the number of candidates who have accepted the job offer. It provides insights into the effectiveness of recruitment strategies and the attractiveness of the job offers being extended.
Formula OAR = (Total Offer Accepted Candidates/Total Hired Candidates) * 100For example, if an organization has 6 hired candidates and only 1 has accepted the offer, the OAR would be:
(1/6)*100 = 16.7%How is OAR Managed in Horilla HRMS?
