“A ninja would not approach his target without careful calculations.”
Precise calculations
A skilled ninja would never approach his target without doing some intense calculations, and you should not change your hiring strategy without following suit. “To be successful in Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), you must first have full-funnel analytics tracking in place to track, which sources where your talent are applying from and the ability to measure cost, clicks, impressions, applicants, client submits, client interviews, and placements,” said Brady. From there, you will develop a baseline benchmark to use as a metric when analyzing data. For example, a low click-through rate (CTR) may be a sign of a poorly optimized job description or ineffective advertising strategies. Profiles, a leading Philadelphia creative staffing agency, takes all of this into account when looking for the perfect candidate for your open position.
