How To Know If Your Data is Offering Useful Insights

Many organizations aren’t even aware of the gaps, or worse yet errors, in how their hiring process data is being collected and delivered. In our Data Hygiene workshops, talent leaders consistently uncover huge inconsistencies that could potentially lead to harmful “data-driven” decisions. After all, your “data-informed” decision-making is only going to be as good as the data it's based on. 

Start by asking yourself the following questions to see if your data needs a quick health checkup:  

Can you answer the question (on a dime), “How is hiring going?”

• If your data sources, tracking and accessible reports are on delay, or not clearly presenting the answers to your burning business questions – your data needs a cleanup.

• In order to be useful, your data needs to be: Trustworthy, Timeline, User Friendly, Agile, Comprehensive and Impactful. If you’re asked with just ten minutes to prepare - can you answer the question, “How is hiring going?”

Do you track conversion rates?

• If yes, are you happy with the process for pulling and compiling data, and with how the data is presented? 
• If no, how do you tell if you’re making headway on important recruiting metrics like time-to-hire and cost-of-hire, let alone Quality of Hire?

How is diversity going in your hiring process?

• If your teams are highly diverse, can you show where that is benefitting your company culture and your bottom line with hard data and reports?
• If your workforce is lacking in diversity, do you have a plan for improvement and making things better, and a way to pull that off?

How are you tracking certain reports you need to pull?

• Are you still stuck in manual mode, using Google Sheets to create and share reports across stakeholders and departments heads?
• Do you have a tool like Tableau, but it’s time consuming and nothing matches, making you long for a way to generate clean, visual, and easy to read real time reports?

Do you even know what KPIs you should be tracking?

• Are you able to see time-to-hire but not much else, and think that’s as good as it gets? (Hint: it’s not!)
• Do you know there are more recruiting KPIs to be measured and tracked, but don’t know where to get started? Check out our recruiting benchmarks guide.
