  • 1.  The best way to leverage Data and Metrics in recruitment efforts.

    During the age of 'the Great Resignation,' how are you using data and metrics to both find the top talent who are transitioning their roles and to retain your own top talent as well?

    Good Afternoon, Lindsay!

    I am responding to the retention part of your question.

    We are using data and metrics to clearly set defined monthly goals and we share with the team who met the goals and who didn't.  This gives us the opportunity to:

    1)  see how they are doing;
    2)  the entire team sees how they are doing;
    3)  If they are not meeting the goals, have conversations with them to help them meet their goals (additional training, better understanding of why the goals are important, etc.)

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you!  I know tracking digital performance data is so critical to our staffing clients particularly on the talent attraction side.  Understanding, especially now, where they are capturing the attention of new potential talent especially with social.  I appreciate your insight in driving engagement for retention, thank you!

    Good Morning Lindsay - 

    I've been focusing on these two things with our small-med sized firm and I recommend these two books: 

    • Traction by Gino Wickman - This gives a VERY detailed structure called EOS to run your business and engage your people.
    • 4DX (Four disciplines of Execution) - This is a powerful book I think when it comes to answering questions like "What metrics do we need to focus on?"

    You may have read these already, but if not, I definitely think they will help! They are both available in audio books as well.

    Thank you for sharing!  I know our clients are very metrics driven and the trackable data around our digital solutions are helping tremendously especially in these hiring conditions.  It is interesting to hear and learn how organizations are leveraging the data at all ends of the funnel.  Thank you for the book recommendations!  I am always have an audible going!

    Lindsay - Great question and probably one of the most important issues facing our industry and our clients. Finding and retaining talent for our staffing firms and our clients is the toughest I think it's ever been, and I've been in this industry for 35 years. We have to realize that success in this area is a combination of art and science. Yes, we can focus on the quantifiable aspects of sourcing, recruiting, placement, and retention, but data alone will not ensure the outcomes we seek. The "art" of staffing calls for intuition, observation, awareness, and experience. That cannot be discerned with metrics. It requires having an eye for trends and actions that have worked in the past. 

    When our "inventory" is people, commodity is a word we can never use. Each person is unique and brings their own skills and talents to the role we ask them to play. So, use science to direct activity, but use art to assess outcomes. The real challenge is knowing when to rely on science and when to rely on art. There's truth to the saying that "good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."

    Thank you Jay.  I completely agree with your points, the human in human resources.  We certainly see with our digital solutions the importance of showcasing the work environment and the advocacy to the prospective talent the staffing companies are working with.  Combining high touch and data.  Great comments!  Thank you,
