Placement Tracking: Record Every Hire and Measure What It Actually Cost
A hire that isn't tracked is a dataset that disappears. TAL.co's placement tracking captures every confirmed hire with source, recruiter, timeline, cost, and early-retention data — feeding the analytics layer that makes every future search smarter.
Bubble size = submission-to-hire rate. Scores derive from real placement outcomes.
Placement Tracking Capabilities
Complete Hire Records
Every confirmed placement is logged with: role, candidate, recruiter, source, offer terms, start date, and vacancy duration — structured for analytics, not just record-keeping.
Cost-Per-Hire Calculation
Recruiter fees, platform costs, interview time, and vacancy cost are calculated per placement — giving finance and talent leadership accurate cost-per-hire without manual spreadsheet assembly.
- Vacancy cost estimated from role-level data
- Recruiter fee tracked at placement confirmation
- Platform cost allocated per closed search
Retention Milestones
30, 60, and 90-day retention checkpoints are tracked per placement. Early attrition signals feed back into recruiter performance scoring and candidate quality assessment.
Source Attribution
Every placement is attributed to its originating source — marketplace recruiter, AI agent sourcing, internal referral, or inbound application — enabling ROI comparison across channels.
Placement Data Across the Recruiter Network
Performance matrix view shows which recruiters, sources, and channels produce the best placements by function, level, and retention.

What Placement Tracking Reveals
The Analytics Layer That Makes Hiring a System
Without placement tracking, hiring feels like a series of one-off projects. With it, patterns emerge: which role types are consistently hard to fill, which recruiters perform on technical searches, which sources produce hires that stay versus hires that leave in ninety days.
TAL.co's placement data feeds directly into source analytics, recruiter performance scoring, and hiring funnel analytics — closing the loop from intake to retention and giving talent leaders an evidence base for strategy decisions.
Questions, answered
How is vacancy cost calculated?
Vacancy cost is estimated using role-level compensation data and configurable cost-of-vacancy multipliers. Finance teams can set organization-specific multipliers to reflect their actual productivity impact model.
Can placement data be exported for payroll or HR systems?
Yes. Placement records can be exported in CSV or pushed to HRIS systems via integration, ensuring consistent records across platforms without manual data entry.
How are retention milestones tracked?
Platform alerts flag the 30, 60, and 90-day marks for each placement. Hiring managers or HR partners confirm retention status; departures trigger early-attrition flagging in the analytics layer.
