Offer Acceptance Rate

A talent insights dashboard is most valuable when it shows leading indicators of future problems rather than trailing indicators of past events. Headcount as of today is a trailing metric. Current pipeline coverage for roles expected to open in 90 days is a leading metric that enables action before the shortage is felt. The design of a useful dashboard requires identifying which decisions it needs to inform and working backward to determine what data those decisions require. Dashboards designed by HR teams for HR teams typically produce metrics that are interesting to HR but not actionable for business leaders. Dashboards designed through a conversation with the business leaders who will use them produce the opposite: fewer metrics, more relevant, directly tied to decisions that need to be made.
