Why it matters
After three months you know whether a placement holds. Per channel and recruiter, this metric shows which recruitment delivers people who stay, and therefore hours and margin.
Where it goes wrong
You have to define 'active': still employed, still placed or still working shifts? In flex work, someone without shifts has not always left.
How Dashly calculates it
Dashly calculates it per month from scheduling and the ATS, per channel, client and recruiter. Per client, the model calls it retention per client.
