Reconcile Hired Applicants and New Hires

Both the Applicant and New Hire Data tables will contain information on who was hired at your organization. Therefore, the two tables should be reviewed for accuracy and the data reconciled, if inconsistencies are found.

Quick Tip: As an indicator of potential inconsistencies, compare the number of applicants hired to the number of new hires.
