5 HR Analytics Quick Wins You Can Ship Without a Data Team
July 10, 2025 · 7 min read
You don't need Tableau or a data scientist. Five analyses any HR ops person can build this month — each one earns the next round of investment.
1. Time-to-fill by role family
Group your roles, plot median, p90. Flags the families that need process attention.
2. Source quality (accept rate, not application count)
The channels that produce applications are rarely the channels that produce accepts. Track accept-per-source, not apps.
3. Manager hiring batting average
Hires by manager, 12-month retention by hiring manager. Sensitive — share privately, not in dashboards. Massive coaching opportunity.
4. Internal-mobility rate
Internal hires as % of all hires. Most companies don't measure this. Top-quartile is 25%+.
5. Regrettable attrition by tenure
Bucket regrettable departures by tenure (0-12 months, 13-24, 25+). Each bucket has a different root cause and a different fix.
