The questionnaire for the managers can help to give the basic idea of the expectations of the organization. The managers are a real users of the recruitment process and they should be fully involved in the design of the recruitment process in the organization. They can provide useful information about the speed, cost and quality of the recruitment process.

The recruitment agencies are usually interested in the cooperation with the client as a good design of the recruitment process can help to increase their income, which is always good for them. The recruitment agencies can provide the design of the recruitment process with a very useful information - the best practices collected at the clients. They provide these best practices for free as they want to help.

The measurement shows the performance of the current recruitment process and help to identify the weak points in the current set up. The measurement can identify real quick wins, which can help to improve the performance quickly and without any major effort.
