Yuvraj’s approach
Goal: Enable job seekers to successfully find and apply to relevant job opportunities on linkedin.
North star metric: Job applications submitted per user(active job seeker) This directly reflects whether job seekers are engaging with job listings and moving towards to goal.
Leading indicators: job search queries per user, job detail views, save jobs rate, application start rate
How to use these metrics: Diagnose engagement rate and if applictions are low, check whether issue is in search,detail views or application starts or filters. Prioritise fixes: if drop off rate is high, improve appliction UX, if search is low, improve discovery and recommendations based on target profile. Validate success: Lagging indicators confirm whrether wngagement is meaningful or just clicks.
Lagging indicators: application complete rate, interview cllbacks, job placement rate
guardrail metrics: time to apply, drop-off rate, spam applications, platform satisfaction/user trust
