Crunching the HR Data – The Power of “Big Data”

HR ideas from Jeffery Giesener – CEO – SourceMob.com

Here are a few facts that came across my desk this week…

  • ADP reported that 92% of Fortune 1000 companies do not have a recruiting strategy.
  • Kleiner Perkins reports that smartphone growth has tremendous growth upside since only 29 percent of adults in the U.S. own some kind of tablet, up from just 2 percent three years ago.
  • The cost of a “Quick Quit” is three times the Hires salary.

Does your Company have a formal Recruiting Strategy? If you are 92 percent of the firms in the Fortune 1000 you don’t according to ADP. Without an effective strategy you are OK to flying blind.

But why is that. Wouldn’t your marketing department have their plan, forecast and need to execute to deliver their published plan each month. I sense they are accountable for the sales they estimate. However where is the Talent Acquisition Department on the definition of accountability?

Something to think about…In 1996 Amazon launched their business with a laser sharp strategy to sell books online. The large brick-n-mortar stars like Barnes and Noble and Borders laughed at the idea. Recently Jeff Bezos spoke to Bloomberg and said at the beginning he had challenges raising his first million in funding. Today with a host of disruptive technologies at play they are a $95.8 Billion Company. Who is laughing now?

What has 2015 taught us about Social and Mobile Recruiting?

Connecting with the Passive candidate is all about relevancy! Reaching the right candidate in the right place with the right and timely job post and conversation time so your brand communications are welcomed instead of a nuisance.

Top niche candidates have many job choices when it comes to whom they will work for especially those that are Passive. And make no mistake about it if you are not in the social and mobile recruiting space your best candidates will be finding jobs and be in conversations with your competitors who are.

We also all know that most talent advertising budgets are not endless — so savvy Talent Acquisition Pros are turning to Business Intelligence, Analytics and the social listening solutions help them recruit and then determine where to spend their dollars to hire the most desirable candidates.

Using SourceMob’s Social and Listening Analytics along with our SourceMob Recruiting and HR Marketing Services will put you in solid footing to know your candidate and what makes them visit and apply to your Career Sites and apply to your jobs. Today they are most likely to lurk and first follow your company’s job posts and conversations before they even apply.

But none of this makes much sense if you can’t determine the way to turn applies into hires and make them stick.

Crunching the Data – The Power of “Big Data”

It is well known that your employees are critical and should be an integral and perhaps the starting point of an effective recruiting process but often employee referrals based on monetary rewards just doesn’t cut it anymore in the “Age of Skepticism”. But that doesn’t mean your employees do not want to help you fill your openings with the best Candidates. They do and Social and Mobile Recruiting done right is just the perfect answer to net candidates who you don’t know.

Triggering Social and Mobile Recruiting reduces costs and you will find that your employees will be of higher quality and will stay with your company longer. Did you know that the statistics say it costs 3 times the salary to replace a “Quick Quit”. For a job with all in benefits of $80,000 that’s a $240,000 loss when someone Quik Quits.

So to maximize the unique benefits of Social and Mobile Recruiting done right give SourceMob a call to learn about how you can deploy Social and Mobile Recruiting, HR Analytics and HR Marketing Services and solutions that lower your cost per hire and get more Passive Candidates to fit within your culture long term. We have seen the success of social recruiting cutting the cost of apply and hire as much as 50 percent of traditional recruiting.
