What is Campus Hiring?
Candidate callback rate is a key recruitment metric that evaluates how effectively a hiring business engages potential candidates. It reflects the percentage of candidates who respond to initial outreach efforts, such as phone calls, by calling back. A high callback rate indicates successful engagement and a strong recruitment process.To calculate the callback rate, divide the number of candidates who returned your calls by the total number of outreach calls where you requested a callback, then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage. Formula: Callback Rate (%) = (Number of Candidate Callbacks ÷ Total Outreach Calls) × 100
