Predictive Analytics and the Future of Talent Acquisition (Room Ballroom C)

Predictive analytics has become the holy grail of talent acquisition. The goal for most organizations is to use predictive modeling to become more proactive in advancing and anticipating behaviors based on actual data rather than falling back on assumptions. It sounds great but the reality is that most companies have misperceptions around what it is and who they should consider. It doesn’t help that so many new providers are entering the market with limited data and little experience in recruitment. This panel is designed to help clear up the confusion around predictive analytics and understand its role in the future of talent acquisition. Some of the questions that we will address include:

• What are the benefits of a data-driven recruitment strategy?

• Should you base predictions on outcome data or job fit?

• What role does AI and machine learning play in predictive analytics?

• What should you consider in a predictive analytics provider?
