Abandon rate

explained

Abandon rate is a metric used to measure the percentage of job seekers who start the application process but do not complete it.

Abandon rate can be affected by a number of factors, including the length and complexity of the application, the number of required fields, and the overall user experience.

A high abandon rate can be an indication that a company's recruitment process is too onerous or that the job seeking experience is poor. It can also be a sign that the company is not attracting the right candidates for the role.

Abandon rate is just one metric that should be considered when evaluating a company's recruitment process. Other factors, such as time-to-hire and quality of hire, can also provide insights into the effectiveness of the process.
