7 Constraints to Implementing a Quality of Hire Strategy
Quality of Hire (QoH) is a metric used to measure the success of new hires by evaluating their job performance, retention, and overall contribution to the organization. However, implementing a QoH strategy is easier said than done. I've been gathering feedback from leaders globally and here are the top 7 constraints to implementing a Quality of Hire strategy:
1. Lack of standardized metrics ??
One of the significant challenges in implementing a QoH strategy is the lack of standardized metrics to measure the quality of hires. Different organizations have different criteria for assessing the performance of new hires. This makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of the process across different organizations.
2. Limited access to data ??
To implement a QoH strategy, organizations need access to a range of data, including performance metrics, employee engagement, and turnover rates. However, accessing this data can be challenging, particularly for smaller organizations that may not have sophisticated HR analytics tools.
3. Cost ??
Implementing a QoH strategy can be costly, particularly if an organization needs to invest in new technology or HR analytics tools. This can be a significant barrier for smaller organizations with limited budgets. However, new tools on the market, mean that that cost can be significantly reduced, and there is strong evidence that implementing a QoH makes good financial sense.
4. Resistance to change?
Implementing a QoH strategy involves a shift in goals and strategy, and some stakeholders within the organization may resist this change, particularly those who are attached to traditional recruitment and retention methods.

5. Limited buy-in from leadership ??
For a QoH strategy to be successful, it requires buy-in from leadership. However, getting leadership to understand the importance of measuring the quality of hires can be a challenge, particularly if they are focused on other metrics. A successful Quality of Hire strategy needs alignment of key stakeholders in the business. Read my article Quality of Hire for Alignment of Business Goals
6. Time constraints ??
Implementing a QoH strategy requires time and resources. Organizations may struggle to find the time and resources to dedicate to this initiative, particularly if they are already stretched thin.
7. Lack of expertise ??
Finally, implementing a QoH strategy requires expertise in HR analytics and data analysis. Organizations may struggle to find individuals with the necessary skills and expertise to implement this strategy effectively.
Implementing a Quality of Hire (QoH) strategy can be challenging, but it's essential for businesses that want to hire top talent and achieve their business objectives. Overcoming these challenges requires investment in resources and expertise, but the benefits of a successful QoH strategy certainly outweigh the challenges!
