Application Quality Measurement
Objective
On this page, you find information on what these categories mean, and how to utilize the information on application quality in your daily recruiting.
Application quality: Measured in RRA, RAA, and RQA
You don't have to add anything manually - the category changes automatically as you keep processing the application in the HR solution.
At first, all applications have the quality RRA as they enter the system, which stands for "Recruiting Received Application". All applications in status "New" are assigned this category.
If the application is not rejected immediately and you have a closer look at the attached data, you move the application status to "Initial Validation".
Applications that reach this point are assigned the quality RAA, which stands for "Recruiting Accepted Application". This means the applications in this category are well-written enough to be considered a "real application" and you screen them for possible fits.
Finally, if you come to the conclusion internally that an application is indeed a good fit, and the candidate is invited to an interview, upon processing your application to the status "First Interview", the application moves to the category RQA, which stands for "Recruiting Qualified Application". This is the highest quality category of applications and means the application is of good quality and from a possibly fitting candidate.
Using the quality metric to improve your Recruiting
If you open the vacancy record, you can see a summary of the quality of all applications you received for this vacancy.
In addition, you have the field "RAA needed" which you can use to enter your own estimate for how many decent-quality applications will likely be needed until you can fill the position with a good fit.
This additional insight may help you streamline and improve the Recruiting process in your organization.
