How Data-Driven Recruitment Ensures Business Growth

How organizations assess candidates regarding hiring decisions differs greatly. What we see more often than not is the use of a generic checklist of requirements and the reliance on gut feeling.

The problem with intuition

Using superficial assessment methods is understandable at first glance. It is easy and feels right to rely on your own intuition.

The problem? Research shows that too often, decisions are made on first impressions, confirmation- as well as similarity bias and not actual facts. “Felt” decisions are not supported by proof and have shown to offer little to no assurance or return on investment in the long run. The good news is that hiring decisions do not have to be made like this. By incorporating a reliable, data-proven method of assessment, you will have the assurance that the selected candidate is the right fit. Data-driven recruitment has also been shown to increase the retention rate of a company’s employees and general performance regarding business objectives.
