Data Analytics: Practical Guide to Leveraging the Power of Algorithms, Data Science, Data Mining, Statistics, Big Data, and Predictive Analysis to Improve Business, Work, and Life

Niche Social Groups: By joining certain groups on social media platforms
recruiters will have access to a pool of candidates who most likely already
possess certain specific skills. For instance, if you need to hire a human
resources manager, joining a group comprised of human resource
professionals can potentially connect you with your next hire. Within this
group, you can post engaging and descriptive job openings your company
has. Even if your potential candidate isn’t in the group, other members will
most likely have referrals. Engaging in these kinds of groups is a very cost-
effective method to advertise open positions.
Gamification: This is an underused data tool but can be effective if the
hiring process requires multiple steps or processes. By rewarding
candidates with virtual badges or other goods, it will motivate candidates to
put forth effort during the selection process. This will allow their relevant
skills in performing the job to be highlighted and is a fun experience when
applying for a job which is typically a rather boring process.
These are only a few of the ways in which data can help companies and
human resource departments streamline the hiring process and save
resources. As you can see, data can be very important for effective business
functioning, and you’ve also seen the multitude of uses it has for just the
hiring process. This is why proper data utilization is critical in business
decision making for all other aspects of your business.
