A study from Allied HR IQ, an initiative funded by Allied Van Lines, finds recruiting is set to move into high gear in 2012. Yet many companies lack confidence in their recruitment and relocation programs; and, even more important, the overall rate of recruiting success for many companies is not as high as it could be.
According to the report, 80% of HR professionals are planning for extensive or moderate recruiting activity (in companies smaller than 10,000 employees) – with one-third indicating they have no recruitment plan or limited plans for recruiting in 2012. Among respondents, 52% say their programs are only “somewhat successful” – and among those who indicate that their programs are highly successful, nearly 20% lost top candidates during their process; more than one-quarter secured 50% of top candidates; and almost all respondents say their companies could do more to improve recruiting prospects. Almost all respondents also indicate that not all recruiters are using all the recruiting tools they could, including social media.

Companies spend a lot on their people – up to 70 percent of their overall expenses. Optimizing that investment requires insight into the skills, strengths and performance of their people. But, the alarming truth is that many organizations lack reliable access to such talent intelligence data as you can see in the infographic below, “The Business Impact of Talent Intelligence” by Taleo, recently acquired by Oracle.
The subject of Big Data is on everyone’s short list. The trend beneath the buzzword is so important that is as hard to imagine as the web was in 1993. It’s driven by smart tools, cloud architectures, cheap processing, cheap storage, broadening access to data and the search for new ways to gain productivity.
The idea is big enough to support an array of conflicting notions. A scan through the search results finds topics that range from analytics to large scale data integrations to novel correlations. The Big Data tent includes all of these somewhat contradictory ideas.
