Big data really is the ultimate buzzword for 2013 and I am shameless to say that big data really does bring out the big geek in me.

It’s just plain sexy isn’t it? All that swanky data flying about the place, waiting to be caught, analysed and converted into knowledge and return.

According to IBM, every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data – so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. This is a mind-blowing statistic that…

I have just been in Atlanta at the global sourcing conference that is known as #SourceCon. The event gathers all of the best sourcers from around the world, and the presenters, participants, drinking partners and general company I kept were full of advice, tips and a few hacks thrown in. I’m better for the experience of having been there.

The second keynote of the day really stood…

Recently, I spoke at a Recruiter Summit in Orlando, Florida and had a blast! The people were very kind and I was fortunate enough to learn a lot from the other speakers. My topic was "What can recruiting expect in the year 2013?" In my presentation I gave three predictions and backed them up with research, anecdotes and the occasional laugh. It was so well received that I decided to post a version of what I shared here. So, check it out and let me know what you think?

When you say it like that, it sounds almost like it might be fun.  Perhaps a bit of an adrenaline ride at Alton Towers?  Afraid not – albeit it may provide a bumpy ride for a few of us.

Well it’s official.  As of 9:30 this morning we learned we have entered the joys of a double dip recession, and for us that means it’s time to work out how this will impact the world of flat fee online recruitment.  Before we all get too excited, what’s it all about?  Well, for those of you not…

Recruiting organizations are faced with more sourcing choices today than ever before.  And they are constantly looking for ways and insight to make sense of them.

It’s no secret that having the right data is extremely important to this process.  If used properly, metrics enable companies to make crucial recruitment campaign decisions that successfully drive sourcing results.

However, it’s not just about capturing the “right” data but just as…

Making sure you are collecting the right data for your organization is integral to improving and optimizing your recruitment marketingstrategy.  But it’s not just capturing this data that’s most important (although you can’t get anywhere if you don’t capture it.)

Instead the most important aspect is how you can display / make available this data in a way where you can easily make meaningful…

As the largest recruitment agency in Ireland we place over 4,000 permanent jobs every year. As a snapshot my IT Director took the last 20 professional placements by salary level and analysed where we had found the candidates:I understand this is not a representative sample but here is where we sourced them from:

Only one applied through a job board

Two came from a cv database such as monster

3 came from our own Cpl website

2 were found on…

There is rarely a single source of hire in today’s hyper connected reality. Single source of application maybe.…

As I was looking at the Twitter stream last week, I came across this tweet:

"Most important recruiting analytic is hardest to Identify: source of hire"

I found this tweet interesting for a few reasons.

First, I think we all understand that this is a huge pain point for many organizations.  Recruiting organizations are still having a hard time to accurately tracking source to hire with their ATS and other…

Depending on the ATS you use, you most likely have a wealth of applicant data that you can use to make your recruiting strategy better.  The real questions, however, are what data is the most important and if this data is easily available and structured in a way for you to make quick and educated decisions on the state of your current recruiting initiatives.

The problem for most companies is that they have this data in several places and there's too much of it.  You have…

There is something almost archaic about the term job board. It connotes a dirty tack ridden area with pamphlets adorned across its frayed wooden edges. This is a place where a multitude of companies each place their latest and greatest positions for individuals to cluster around, sneer and glean any piece of vital information that can assist their application.

It’s almost scandalous just how long the term job board has been around. Why do we accept this term? The pace of…
