Type 2 hiring errors — great candidates not hired — are invisible, unmeasured, and compounding. This dashboard shows you exactly where they occur and what they cost.
Companies obsess over Type 1 errors — hiring someone bad. Those failures are visible, attributable, and painful. Type 2 errors — great candidates you filtered out, ghosted, or lost to a competing offer — are invisible. Nobody gets blamed. The cost gets diffused across the organization as chronic underperformance. Use the dashboard below to visualize exactly where your funnel leaks great talent.
Your Bayesian prior — the % of great candidates in your pool — is set before a single resume is reviewed. Referrals and internal moves enter at 60–80% quality. Job boards enter at 10–15%. No amount of selection skill fixes a weak pool.
A 20% leak at every stage compounds. Six stages of 20% leakage leaves you with only 26% of the great candidates who entered. The losses aren't additive — they're multiplicative.
You can't patch one stage and call it done. Performance-based Hiring addresses Type 2 errors at every stage — from how the job is defined to how the offer is structured. That's what a Kaizen Hiring Audit measures.
Adjust the sliders to match your hiring reality. Set the candidates reached per sourcing channel, the quality of each channel's pool, and the leak rate at each funnel stage. The waterfall at the bottom shows your true yield of great candidates.
Enter how many people you reach per channel, set pool quality (% who are truly strong), and the engage/apply rate.
Drag each slider to reflect how often great candidates are lost at that stage. Default values reflect typical companies.
The waterfall shows where your Type 2 losses accumulate. A well-run PBH system should achieve 60%+ yield of great candidates.
If your yield is below 40%, a Kaizen Hiring Audit will identify the specific stages causing the most leakage — and how to fix them.
A Kaizen Hiring Audit scores your hiring system on six dimensions — from job definition through post-hire success — and identifies the specific stages driving your Type 2 error rate. Scored 0–100. Delivered within 48 hours.
