Question

The number of candidates at the screening interview round of a company’s recruitment process was seventy-two. By the time of the selection interviews, this number reduced to sixteen potential candidates that could fulfill the job position effectively according to its protocol. The yield ratio in this case is _____ percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

Yield ratio refers to the percentage of candidates that passes from one stage of the hiring process to another.

In this example, we see that at the screening interview round of a company's recruitment process the total of people was 72 people.

By the time of the selection interview (the next stage), this number had reduced to 16 candidates.

To see what's the yield ratio in this case we need to divide the amount of people that made it to the second stage between the total amount of people that was on the first stage.

So, we would have:

Yield ratio: $\frac{16}{72} =.22$

Thus, writing this as a percentage, we would have that the yield ratio is 22%
