The Importance Of Using Data and Reporting When Recruiting
The most essential aspect of any business is being able to access data and make reporting as quick and accurate as possible, especially when recruiting and building a candidate talent pool. Traditionally, recruiters and hiring teams only assumed hiring methods were effective, but now, with access to a wealth of software and analytics tools available on the market, anyone can create a data-driven recruiting process.
Data-driven recruiting allows you to make informed hiring decisions, from selecting candidates to creating hiring plans and reporting on team productivity. Often recruiting teams that use data are more likely to be efficient, reduce costs and improve their hiring.
Benefits of using data and reporting
Using data in your hiring process increases your quality of hire. Data-driven recruiting also helps you:
- Allocate and wisely spend your budget to determine which recruiting channels bring in the most qualified candidates.
- Increase productivity and efficiency which can help to speed up specific stages of your time-to-hire.
- Unearth hiring issues, tweak interview questions or redesign your page. As well as look at candidate demographics to see if you are unwittingly discriminating against protected groups.
- Benchmark and forecast your hiring to see how many applicants you typically need to make one hire.
- Make the case for recruiting process improvements and know how to invest department budgets.
