How do you use data and analytics in your recruitment process?

As a recruiter, your clients will respond best to your recommendations if they link to data. Show the interviewer that you understand how to use analytics in your recruitment process correctly. If possible, give a specific example of a time when the use of data and analytics led to a successful placement.

"Many recruiters rely on their intuition, which is an important factor in the process; however, should not be 100% of the work. I analyze data from clients' past hires, successes and fails of the past, employee attrition data, and more. Then, I make hiring recommendations on what I see to be working for my clients' competitors. Most recently I helped a client to reduce their workforce by replacing three low-performing employees with one full-time and one part-time staff member. My client was thankful that I took the time to analyze their issues before recommending they continue to overstaff."
