Data-driven recruiting is when you\nuse tangible facts and statistics to inform your hiring decisions. This\nincorporates everything from selecting candidates, to creating hiring plans.\nRecruiting teams that use data are more likely to be efficient, reduce costs\nand improve their hiring decisions. With 46% of new recruits failing in the\nfirst year of employment, it is important to ensure that you hire the right\ncandidates for your company.[1]<\/sup><\/a> Using data driven\nrecruitment is proven to be an effective way of ensuring you hire the right\npeople for your company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CVs don\u2019t tell the whole story.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using CVs and interviews alone are not an effective way to hire candidates. You only see a snippet of the candidate\u2019s abilities, skills and personality throughout this process. Not only that, but a lot of hiring decisions are therefore made based upon \u2018gut\u2019 feelings. Despite the fact that recruitment processes have changed dramatically since the evolution of job boards, such as Monster and Indeed, many companies still use CVs as their primary focus during long- and short-listing. This can lead to companies missing out on candidates who would be perfect for the position, simply because they do not include certain buzzwords in their CV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge is power.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In recruitment, knowledge is power. And how do you arm\nyourself with knowledge? Data driven recruitment methods. Psychometric testing,\nsuch as those offered by Big 5 Assessments, provides hiring managers and\nrecruiters with knowledge and data about candidates that otherwise would have\nbeen unknown. This is just part of the process, however. Data from successful\npast hires and employee turnover can also be used to find the traits and\npersonality types that work well within your company. Psychometric testing,\nused on existing employees, is a quick and effective way to gain this data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recruitment and data should go hand in hand. After all, how\ncan you be confident in your hiring decision if you don\u2019t have all the\nnecessary facts and information? Using psychometric testing to make your\nrecruitment process data driven enables you to find candidates that are the\nbest fit for your company, thus helping to ensure its longevity.
