Can you KPI a website? Absolutely! Setting KPIs for your recruitment website might feel tricky, but it’s completely doable when you know what to focus on. Here's what to keep in mind: ✅ Quality applications Instead of just looking at placements, focus on qualified applications. Define what "quality" means for your business - candidates who can be added to the database, shortlisted, or make it to the first interview stage. ✅ Job alert registrations Track how many candidates are signing up for job alerts. This gives you a clear picture of your website’s popularity and growth. ✅ Client contacts Measure the number of client inquiries your website generates each month. This is another great indicator of its performance. Start somewhere. Even a simple benchmark gives you the insight needed to refine and improve over time. A KPI doesn't have to be perfect - it just has to get you moving in the right direction.
