HomeGlossary › Net Promoter Score (Candidate)

The Net Promoter Score (Candidate) measures how likely candidates are to recommend a recruitment process to others, typically assessed through a single question survey.

In a recruitment agency context, the Net Promoter Score is used to gauge candidate satisfaction with the hiring process, including communication, support, and overall experience. Agencies often collect this feedback post-interview or after the hiring process concludes, allowing them to identify strengths and areas for improvement. By analysing these scores, agencies can refine their practices to enhance candidate experience and engagement.

This metric matters because a high Net Promoter Score can indicate a positive reputation in the job market, which can attract more candidates and clients. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for continuous improvement, helping agencies to adapt their strategies based on candidate feedback. However, it is essential to consider the context of the scores and to complement them with qualitative feedback for a comprehensive understanding of candidate sentiment.
