A sourcing channel efficiency calculator is a tool designed to help HR professionals and recruiters evaluate the effectiveness of different hiring channels. It provides a clear efficiency score by comparing the number of hires to the total number of applicants from each channel.

The formula for calculating Sourcing Channel Efficiency is:

(Total number of hires from a source ÷ Total number of applicants from that source) × 100

This formula measures the percentage of applicants from a specific channel who successfully become hires, clearly indicating how effectively that channel converts candidates into employees.

A higher percentage means the channel is more efficient in delivering quality hires.
