Data is a girl's best friend

Data is everywhere, but useful data is not. Many people talk about data like it's up for grabs.

But judging data on accuracy and relevancy is something that requires knowledge and experience.

People data, used in recruitment, is particularly complex.

Skills data can be desperately outdated...
Work performance data rigged...
Diversity data wrongly interpreted...
Some data can be risky territory...

The good news, when used correctly, data is your best friend.

Expand your understanding of the talent market you are recruiting in, get a helicopter view and make a talent map.

Don't forget about GDPR when you're processing data. GDPR is not a 'let's get it over with' kind of thing.
