Writing recently in New Zealand\u2019s HR magazine, QJumpers President Simon Oldham focused on some of the less well used aspects of technology aimed at simplifying the process.<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Body Content” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#454545″ custom_margin=”-5px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-15px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-15px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n

Because when it comes to talent acquisition and HR strategy, it\u2019s all very well investing in the latest automation and applicant tracking systems, but unless the company a) finds the right fit for their requirements, and b) adapts to be able to use the technology to the best of its ability, then they\u2019re not going to be able to get their money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s key findings \u2013 from research carried out both in New Zealand over the past 12 years and, more recently in the US over the past couple of years \u2013 is that firms aren\u2019t getting the most out of two areas: talent pools and\u00a0business intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our experience, the arrival of new technology hasn\u2019t meant companies are necessarily making the most of new functionality,\u201d Simon says. \u201cAnd this is a mainly because of a fundamental point in recruitment and HR: it\u2019s vital for companies to get a system that works explicitly for, or can be customized to, their specific requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my experience, many companies come in with requirements based on what they\u2019ve heard is best practice, but then don\u2019t use that functionality. For example, companies ask for, but then might not use, their talent pool because it\u2019s not intuitive or it requires one or two keystrokes more than hiring managers are prepared to make.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, companies say they want business intelligence and reports but then hardly anyone in the company looks at them or, when they do, they don\u2019t use them to improve their processes.\u201d Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, reporting and analytics have been major buzzwords in HR and recruitment for a few years now, and as departments really start getting to grips with all the information they have at their fingertips, it\u2019s vital they make the most of it.<\/p>\n

At QJumpers we have grown our recruitment software and talent pool expertise to be much more than a\u00a0smart ATS. Realizing early on the importance of not only gathering data, but being able to extract it and use it specific to your business, we\u2019ve developed reporting analytics that cover all your recruitment basics such as time to hire, applicant information and active\/filled jobs, while also leaving room to tailor individual reports to suit your specific business needs.<\/p>\n

But knowing you can access data is not the same as handling that data. So what are the golden rules governing the successful use of data analytics?<\/p>\n

  1. Ask for the right information to fill your data pool.<\/strong>\n
