Despite claims to the contrary, EVERY study on source of hire is seriously flawed. Ours is no exception.
Yes, self-report by the candidate is clearly one of the problems, but so is last IP address…and every other method of collecting and assessing this unusual but critical piece of the recruiting business process.
The critical flaw is the there is NO one source for hire! Unfortunately, few firms in the space understand the principles behind a “factor analysis” to get at the elements that influence the series of candidate actions from source to hire.
Mark and Gerry plan to share their data from earlier this year and their thoughts about the last 10 years they’ve been asking a biased sample of companies for their data. A little story-telling, a little learning and a few recommendations on how you can improve what you do in the future (unvarnished by any hidden agenda). We’ll leave plenty of time for open debate, critical questions and differences of opinion. Join us for a great hour. Bring it on.
