Data driven recruitment

Data driven recruitment

An established Service company was struggling in recruiting right talent at different levels within the organization. They were mainly focused on a referral-based hiring process with major emphasis on intuitive selection criteria. The process was same throughout the hierarchy and did not utilize any case-specific selection methods.

We helped them with –

  • Implementation of a data driven pre-screening process
  • Shortlisting recruitment specialists with industry knowledge
  • Introduction of video interviews
  • Standardized screening questionnaire for different recruitment levels

This helped the company to move from people-based hiring to technology driven hiring. Redesigned hiring process to a data driven one rather than judgement based. Standardized interview questions helped analyse candidates’ abilities against each other in a more consistent manner. This is a classic example where machines and data are used to assist humans. So instead of dehumanizing the process, it became further quantified and the quality of the candidates substantially increased.
