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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Places we’ve seen Big Data + Recruiting
where is it?
Recruitment strategies & programs
•How to analyze & act on them
•Creating multi-faceted recruitment programs, customizing, tracking, analyzing, and refining them based on the information variables.

Recruiting Programs and Strategies
who uses it?
The goal of “Big Data” + recruiting for our purposes today is to understand the context of the data (candidates & postings) that is out there.
Recruiting Programs and Strategies
who uses it?
We want to get a ROI for our efforts. This means customization of the brand, messaging, job postings…whatever!
Recruiting Programs and Strategies
who uses it?
We then want to analyze the hits, clicks, responses, likes, +1’s, emails, applications, tweets, or retweets in order to figure out what is working and what is not.
Recruiting Programs and Strategies
who uses it?
This process can be very time consuming if done individually and by hand. There are many software programs, automation tools, and websites that can help you. Some are paid for, others are free.

Create & Refine Your Brand
• 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.

The things that can hurt your chances of measuring the data successfully are:
1.Bad job postings

identify markets and networks

Birds of a feather flock together, but not all birds hang out in the same place.
identify markets and networks
identify markets and networks
When identifying:
1.Do the obvious
• Find Linked groups related to your company or products or technology
• Find Meetups and associations related to your company or products or technology
identify markets and networks
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
identify markets and networks
When identifying:
3.Discover Twitter trends
• Use Twitter tools to look at trending topics
• Sites like Followerwonk, Tweetadder, or just #hashtag searches can help you identify trending topics and who is talking about what
identify markets and networks
When identifying:
4.Use traffic tools
• Also use web traffic tools like Alexa and TrafficEstimate in order to see which websites people travel from and where they go after
• 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
identify markets and networks
• You will know the candidates are out there, but you just can’t get to them
identify markets and networks
• Like being trapped on a desert island with no way to escape!

Well we know you don’t have time to rewrite a new web page for every single marketing idea you have.
But we can focus on things that are more within your control…

Micro-blogging posts, tweets, IM status, etc – focus on what talked about before:
•Not generic•Speaking to the audience

Social Media profiles:
•Linkedin, Google+, Facebook, Twitter profiles, etc.
•If you work at a company, then tell people why they should work there as well!
•Talk about the cool technology, the people, the services, the culture….EVERYTHING!

4
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….”

5
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.
