Diagnose falling applications from job emails by tracing funnel rates, recommendation relevance, promoted-job mix, and ranking changes.
Diagnose a Drop in Applications from Job Recommendation Emails
Applications attributed to job-recommendation emails suddenly decline on one day. Describe how you would investigate the email-to-application funnel and distinguish a measurement issue, a delivery issue, and a change in recommendation relevance. Explain how you would assess a recent change in ranking weights as a possible cause.
Hints
Hint 1
Decompose volume and rates: A decline in applications can arise from fewer emails, fewer clicks per opened email, or fewer applications per click.
Follow-up questions
- What if clicks fall while applications per click stay stable?
- How would you separate changed job inventory from changed ranking behavior?
