Seasonal parks hiring looks strong on time-to-fill, but first-week no-shows are huge. Which metric should HR add so sourcing strategy actually changes?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Time-to-fill can look great while the dugout is empty on opening day. If people accept and then no-show, the metric that matters is yield and who actually shows. That number tells sourcing to stop chasing speed and start chasing people who will report.
Full Explanation
Metrics inform action when they expose the real failure mode. Time-to-fill hides first-week no-shows, so sourcing keeps optimizing for speed. Days-to-post, social-media likes, and recruiter activity do not explain why hired seasonal staff never appear. A yield/show metric can change sources, offer timing, and pre-boarding practices because it measures the drop-off the city can fix.
