Six Ways To Use Data For Better Talent Acquisition Strategy
Summary
In this example, regional demand data shows the labor market for graphic designers has in fact increased in Charlotte by over 26% in recent years. To widen the talent pool, it’s helpful to expand your search to new regions and/or broaden the unique hard skills in your posting. Maybe you don’t have the flexibility to increase your wage offer, so you determine that the Charlotte Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is not the best place to hire graphic designers for your company. In this case, it’s worth diving deeper into the computer systems design services industry to see which businesses fall into this category (and how you can get their attention). Doing a skills inventory of your organization allows you to identify opportunities for internal employee mobility (upskilling) while saving lots of time looking at external candidates for sources of staffing.
