When you’re pressed for time to fill multiple roles in a set period, with hiring managers all demanding their requirements for the “perfect candidate”, it’s easy to rush things, rather than looking at things from an analytical point of view.
However, by taking into consideration the data that is available to you, you could in fact speed up the hiring process and be more efficient at your job. Data can help you to quickly identify the largest and best talent pools to source from and make recommendations to your hiring manager about job criteria, based on a summary of the talent market available. Being able to make these informed suggestions will help to build trust and in turn, a better relationship with the hiring manager.
