Finding the perfect candidate for a job in a company is a lot like finding your true love. There are so many people but it isn’t always the perfect match. Just like dating sites are using big data to match people up, recruiting needs to begin using big data to match up a candidate with their perfect job. Why is it that so many recruiters are still having to follow their gut feeling about a candidate when there is so much data available, and so many different tools to help analyze it? Yes, it is true that when it comes to recruiting, the relationship you develop with a candidate is an important part. However, with the use of data recruiters can stop wasting time on the bad candidates and get to the perfect candidate more quickly. Data analytics is all about looking at behavior, and in recruiting behavior is huge. Data can help answer questions such as what are your applicants doing? How are they being found? How many days does it take from start to finish to fill a job? How many positions do we have? These are all important factors that would be helpful for recruiters to have the answers to. There are many Applicant Tracking Systems that helps recruiters look at the company’s data and statistics but they need to utilize the information and tools that are available to them.
I agree with you about recruiters and i will take it further we all need to get on board. Nice post
