DETAILS:
The possibilities offered by big data and talent analytics continue to generate tremendous buzz. Yet the purpose and practical use of these resources is often obscured by marketing jargon and hype, preventing companies from leveraging data as part of the hiring process. But not all hope is lost.
During HR West 2017, Joseph P. Murphy, vice president at Shaker, will cut through the noise surrounding big data and talent analytics and explain how the intersection of selection and science can help improve quality of hire. Throughout his session, Murphy will discuss actionable ways companies can improve the power of the candidate evaluation process, gather valuable data for analysis and provide hiring managers with insights to optimize hiring decisions. Murphy will also describe how companies can identify and focus on jobs where actively collected, intentionally defined candidate data will have the greatest return on investment.
