1) The document discusses how predictive analytics can help human resources (HR) and recruitment functions. It describes how predictive models can forecast things like which employees may leave a company, who should be prioritized for open roles, and ideal times to contact candidates.
2) Traditional reporting in HR involves analyzing past data, while predictive analytics uses data to forecast future events and probabilities. The document provides examples of metrics that could be tracked, like the number of profiles being monitored and how many predicted active job seekers actually change jobs.
3) Near-term focus areas discussed are retaining existing employees and improving recruiting. The benefits highlighted are early risk detection, talent planning, and gaining a competitive advantage through predictive insights.

7. Context: Reporting vs. Predictive Analytics

Predictive Analytics
• Predictive models (i.e. credit score, life events)
• Probability of events and/or their timing
Data Analysis
• Statistical analysis, and relational models
• Understanding cause and effect
Dynamic Reporting
• Aggregate view of data sources
• Benchmarking or validation
(Traditional) Reporting
• Measure results
• Efficiency, compliance
• What is happening
now?
• Why did it
happen?
• What happened?
• What can
happen?

Cultural shift has created demand for HR tools to help companies make this critical transition
10. A simplified example of an analytic
• Based on internal
historic data (e.g.
known data)
• Often built on
relational models
• Batch oriented
nature (e.g.
produces results
at time of report)

What we’ve decided to focus on in the near term
Social data streams have (so far) left some basic problems unsolved by HR technology
HR Business Function
Existing Employees
Recruiting
Pain Point
(Problem Statement)
More than 70% of the workforce
would entertain a conversation for a
new job, leaving companies exposed
to leavers and vacancies
Other than skill and experience,
companies have limited insights about
which people should be contacted first,
or even when
Opportunity
Know if people are active job seekers
Know the ideal time to contact a person
Benefits
• Early detection of employees at risk
• Identify possible mgmt. issues
• Real-time talent planning
• Gain competitive advantage
• Reduce cost, save time, gain focus
• Follow interesting people

14. The softer side of things
Let’s imagine what is possible, and how Predictive Analytics might shift a paradigm
• What if there was a simpler/organized way for recruiting departments to
follow interesting people, and be alerted to the ideal time to contact them?
• What if companies could automatically knew who to contact first for an
open role based on that person’s job-seeking interest level? Is the
applicant serious or just fishing? Etc.
• What if a company knew that their best employees were at risk of leaving?
• What if there was a way for people to send “signals” to targeted companies
that they (he/she) might be interested in hearing about an opportunity but
they don’t want anyone to know that they are looking?
