DESCRIPTION

Data analytics for recruiting is useless, unless it serves to improve your company’s recruitment program. With such a large amount of potential candidates, jobs, social networks, and methods of communication, it can be overwhelming to manage. It can also be not used at all or used for the wrong reasons. Even the buzzword “Big Data” is thrown about these days when should just be called data. The competition for top talent these days is anyone’s for the taking. You just have to make sure your recruiting campaigns are paying off, you are looking for the right candidate profiles, you are looking for candidates in the right part of the internet, and your recruitment message speaks to the right individuals. In this webinar, Mark Tortorici will talk about what Big Data is, what it is not, and how using any data can help your company’s recruitment program. We’ll talk about trends in recruiting, trends with candidates, and how to identify them quickly through different micro-blogging and media sites. Mark will also discuss ways to track your campaigns, postings, and social messaging in a way that lets you know whether if it’s working or not. We’ll look at job postings and how your traditional descriptions could be hurting your ROI for your Monster/Indeed postings. We’ll also talk about ways to tweak your recruitment branding and message based off of your findings. And finally, we’ll talk about no-cost tools that can help you do this.

Places we’ve seen Big Data + Recruiting

where is it?

Employee performance predications:

•To gather data from multiple sources

•Pre-hire and post-hire

•Predict which hires will perform well

•Predict how companies can improve employee longevity.

Page 43: Big Data Recruiting - What it is, What it is Not, and Why You Need Recruiting Analytics Regardless

Places we’ve seen Big Data + Recruiting

where is it?

Flipside:

•Not proven to not be reliable.

•Even Google has not been able to find consistent trends when it comes to hiring employees

•Some of the best employees I’ve ever hired did not have one shred of work experience in the industry

• Other “experienced” candidates turned out to be lower performers. Predictive human behavior in life-changing circumstances like choosing a job, is iffy at best.

Page 44: Big Data Recruiting - What it is, What it is Not, and Why You Need Recruiting Analytics Regardless

Places we’ve seen Big Data + Recruiting

where is it?

Data aggregation tools

•For identifying, sourcing, and mining candidates: TalentBin, Dice OpenWeb, Entelo, etc.

•Great tools that cut down on time spent sourcing candidates

•Not really “Big Data” inthe technical sense. The information is not changing at a very fast rate.

The information is being pulled from profile pages, wordpress, social networks, microblogging sites, etc.

Page 45: Big Data Recruiting - What it is, What it is Not, and Why You Need Recruiting Analytics Regardless

Places we’ve seen Big Data + Recruiting

where is it?

Flipside:

•Unless everyone in the world is changing their Linkedin profile, Twitter Bio, interests, company and username every second, it doesn’t qualify as “Big Data”

•Although Twitter posts, Google+ posts, and your Facebook Wall match the “Big Data” qualifications: Volume, Velocity, and Variety.

• These social data aggregation tools are focusing more on the profiles, bios, companies, etc.

• When creating your recruiting strategies or programs, think

• Where will people end up?

• Where will you direct them?

• If your end content is bad (whether it’s a job posting, landing page, youtube video, Facebook page), then you will see a dramatic drop in interest and click-throughs.

When identifying:

2.Look for other groups

• There could be local chapters that have a concentrated number of possible candidates

• For example, try searching to a type of organization or association based on subject

• Here is an example search in Google for Biotech associations and organizations: biotech (association OR organization) members

3.Discover Twitter trends

• Remember that some types of candidates only hang out or network in specific places

• If you are running the same campaign for every job you recruit for, then you are missing the boat

Candidate Emails – Can be good or bad:

•Mass emails never get people’s attention – they don’t make you feel special

•Instead, craft a more personalized message that speaks to the candidate, talks about their experience, asks them why they like what they do

•THEN talk about the cool things that your company is doing. It’s better than using a template like “Hi [first name] – How are you doing? I see you’re working at [company name]. I am recruiting for….”

Multimedia – if you have the time, put some work into media posts:

•I’ve seen creative recruiters and sourcers put together amateur videos that talk about the cool things their company is doing & the group they could be working with

•You don’t have to be Steven Spielberg to make one of these, a phone camera and a simple video editing tool can do it

•These are the types of posts that go viral and draw HUGE traffic if done in a way that seems cool and honest.
