According to Statista, by 2022, annual revenue from the global big data and business analytics market is expected to reach $274.3 billion. In 2018, revenue from big data and analytics software alone was valued at $60.66 billion. By 2049, the volume of data created worldwide is estimated to climb to 149 zettabytes.
Big data is big business. It has been for a number of years now and it only continues to grow in relevance and importance, especially in talent acquisition and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO). But there is a difference between data and insight. Data is accumulating at an astronomical rate, but do we really know what makes businesses tick?
Paul Harty, Chief Solutions Officer at Sevenstep, recently sat down (virtually) with Elliot Clark, CEO and Chairman of SharedXpertise, publishers of HRO Today and HRO Today magazine, to discuss what is data versus what are insights and how this differentiation is playing out specifically in outsourced talent solutions. The full recording of the podcast can be accessed here. Below are some key highlights from the conversation.
How to use the mountains of data you gather throughout your TA process to make good evidence-based decisions.
- Identify what is relevant and important; cut out the noise
- Work with analysts who understand recruitment and the context of what TA is trying to achieve
How to utilize products like Sevenstep’s Sevayo® Insights to design a more analytical, AI-driven approach to data collection and interpretation.
