Back to work after the holidays? This is the checklist HR leaders should start with. Before the inbox floods. Before hiring plans get locked. Before Q1 momentum quietly slips away.

It’s about making the right calls early. If you’re leading HR this year, start here, align fast, and let the rest follow. Save it. Share it with your team. Day one decisions shape the whole year.

📊 The Cost of Talent is Shifting: Key Benchmarks from the 2025 Recruiting Report The new SHRM 2025 Recruiting Executives Benchmarking Report reveals a major divergence in hiring metrics, with costs soaring for executive roles while time-to-fill stabilizes. Here are the must-know insights for every talent acquisition professional: 1. Executive Hiring Costs Explode, Nonexecutive Costs Drop The cost-per-hire (CPH) gap is wider than ever, underscoring the resource intensity of top-tier talent acquisition: Executive CPH has reached a median of $10,625. This represents a staggering 113% increase since 2017 and a 21% rise since 2022. Nonexecutive CPH decreased to $1,200, a 27% decline since 2017. The Ratio: The cost of hiring an executive is now nearly 9 times that of a nonexecutive role. 2. Time-to-Fill Stabilizes, But Size Matters The hiring process is becoming more consistent across job levels, suggesting focused effort on speed: The median time-to-fill for both executive and nonexecutive positions is now about 44-45 days (a month and a half). This is a sharp drop for executive roles, which took 60 days in 2022. The Bottleneck: Extra-large organizations (5,000+ employees) report significantly longer time-to-fill periods (around 60-61 days for both). 3. The Internal Hiring Opportunity is Missed Recruitment remains overwhelmingly external, though larger firms are better at internal mobility: The overall median shows executive hiring is 100% external. Only 7% of nonexecutive positions are filled internally across all organizations. The Exception: Extra-large organizations are the exception, filling 50% of executive positions from within. 4. A "Quality of Hire" Blind Spot Despite 61% of recruiting executives citing a lack of qualified candidates as a top challenge, very few organizations actually measure whether their new hires deliver value: Only 20% of organizations use a quality-of-hire metric, a decline from previous years. 💡 Actionable Takeaway: Recruitment is expensive, especially at the executive level. Recruiting leaders need to justify these costs by integrating Quality of Hire metrics into their reporting and investing in internal development programs (upskilling, mentoring) to capitalize on the lower cost and higher potential retention of internal talent. How does your organization's CPH compare to these benchmarks? Share your thoughts below! 👇 #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition #HRMetrics #Benchmarking #FutureOfWork #SHRM #ExecutiveSearch

Imagine starting your week ready to fill a critical role. Your inbox is overflowing with applications. At first, it feels like progress. But soon frustration sets in. Most profiles do not match the role, and a few promising candidates are buried deep. Valuable time slips away. This is the challenge recruiters face in specialized industries. Generic platforms promise more applicants, but more often means noise, not quality. Here’s how we helped recruiters cut through the clutter.

Why “quality of hire” should be your top recruiting metric in 2025 SHRM’s latest Benchmarking Report confirms what we see every day at HCRI: most organizations still aren’t measuring the quality of their hires—and it’s costing them. In his latest reflection, HCRI Director of Recruiting Tim Flanagan challenges healthcare leaders to rethink how they evaluate recruiting success. Time-to-fill and cost-per-hire matter, but if your new hire isn’t thriving a year later, you’re back at square one—spending thousands to refill the same role. Tim writes: “SHRM’s report is a wake-up call. The data is there. The need is urgent. It’s time to connect the dots, and hire for impact, not just speed.” Read Tim’s complete reflection on how performance data, retention, and recruiting strategy must work together to build lasting teams: https://lnkd.in/gJm-QCvg #HealthcareRecruiting #QualityOfHire #SHRM #SHRM2025 #RetentionMatters #HCRI #ExecutiveSearch #HRLeadership
