It calculates the conversion rate through each stage for every source. A channel with high application volume but low conversion rates may be attracting unqualified candidates. A channel with low volume but high conversion produces better-quality candidates per application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Acting on Source Effectiveness Data<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Recruit&#8217;s Source Effectiveness data helps recruiting teams allocate budget more efficiently. If employee referrals produce 35% of hires from 10% of applications while a paid job board produces 15% of hires from 40% of applications, the business case for expanding the referral programme is clear. Regular Source Effectiveness reviews are standard practice for mature recruiting operations in India&#8217;s IT and manufacturing sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A manufacturer in Pune runs a quarterly Source Effectiveness report in Zoho Recruit. LinkedIn produces the highest hire rate per application at 18% while a regional job board produces only 4%. The recruiting team reallocates 30% of the regional board budget to LinkedIn Recruiter licences.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sourcing-channel-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Sourcing Channel<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/referral-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Referral<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/cost-per-hire-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Cost-per-Hire<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/recruiter-activity-report-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Recruiter Activity Report<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Source Effectiveness in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source Effectiveness in Zoho Recruit is a report measuring the conversion rate of each sourcing channel from application through to hire, enabling data-driven decisions about sourcing budget allocation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>How is Source Effectiveness calculated in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source Effectiveness compares the number of candidates from each source at each pipeline stage: applications, shortlists, interviews, offers, and hires.
