I don&#39;t currently have data for these, but from memory, the hiring to onboarding ratio was, for most of my vendors, pretty high -- like over 95% of extended/accepted offers would start. It&#39;s probably higher now, because demand is lower, and candidates can&#39;t game the system with multiple offers like they used do.<br /><br />Overall attrition for me has been all over the place -- sometimes as high as 50% in a year (which is effectively a revolving door). Ideally, I&#39;d like to see overall attrition under 20%. Managed vs. surprise attrition is really a measure designed to socially engineer honesty and transparency with the vendor -- if the team is &quot;retained&quot; and resources are onboarded and trained for work, I&#39;d like to know as far as possible in advance if there&#39;s going to be turn over. On this kind of thing, the scalar value matters less than the trend... what ever the current state is, measure it and work to make it &quot;better.&quot;<br /><br />Hope this helps.Tom Hickmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08650314504799077287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18736587.post-69494260291577800372011-05-26T16:48:18.289-04:002011-05-26T16:48:18.289-04:00Greetings, I am currently researching outsourcing attrition &amp; saw your blog. You provided great insight, but could you also provide example calcs for <br />-Hire to &quot;on-boarding&quot; ratio <br />-Overall Attrition (our vendor is stating attrition reflects high based on 12 monthly rolling, specifically when requests for resources is declining)<br />-Managed attrition<br />-Surprise attrition<br /><br />Thank you so much!!faelknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18736587.post-29209984444510573772011-05-02T03:44:17.961-04:002011-05-02T03:44:17.961-04:00ho that easy tool i like itBPO Services Indiahttp://www.infosearchbpo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18736587.post-63492789708327520102011-04-11T10:18:29.633-04:002011-04-11T10:18:29.633-04:00This is nice and very thoughtful post.

I know linear models make the math easier, but I will offer one proposed amendment: <br /><br />Those &quot;large&quot; change events have more of an impact, on more team members, and therefore have more of an exponential effect. Since I have neither the time, training or patience for developing or maintaining complicated mathematical models (leave that for the highly-paid consultants, when I posses that other magical dimension - budget), when I adopt Tom&#39;s model I will rate the events as:<br /><br />small: 1<br />medium: 3<br />large: 8<br /><br />and keep my eye out for that 12-14 range in any 6 month period. <br /><br />Of course, that&#39;s based on my own rating and bias of what&#39;s small, medium, or large in my own world of technology services business development and management. <br /><br />Thanks for the diversion, Tom!Ken Stonehttp://www.absicorp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18736587.post-42098406729214354322010-09-09T01:16:33.656-04:002010-09-09T01:16:33.656-04:00You have many inputs from this post.

I honestly enjoy marketing my writing services through their online marketplace. I seriously recommend that you give them a try. Here&#39;s some advice: Write individual bids, Bid often, Be careful with the type of buyers you deal with (only choose providers with proven reputations and clear instructions), only choose projects that you can excel on, and do your best.

I put a lot of work into making it both a serious analysis and accessible to operating managers. People like you and your readers were my target audience. It's good to see that I hit the mark--at least with you.<br /><br />If your readers are interested in having a discussion, I am happy to engage on any of the issues about the book or offshoring.
