Summary:
CheeTung Leong, co-founder of Engage Rocket, introduces the concept of people analytics and its potential to revolutionize the hiring process. People analytics involves using data to gain insights into the workforce, enabling evidence-based decisions in recruitment, development, and talent management. By defining key success factors for a specific role and gathering data from various sources, businesses can assess candidates against these factors and identify high-potential individuals. Predictive modeling techniques and machine learning algorithms can then be used to develop models that predict future success. However, it's important to remember that people analytics should be used as a supplement, not a replacement, for existing recruitment processes. The human element, including cultural fit and soft skills, remains crucial. Ethical and unbiased practices are also essential, with regular reviews to mitigate potential biases and ensure transparency and fairness.
