People Analytics

Advanced analytics for better talent and business decisions

Advanced analytics can dramatically improve the way organizations identify, attract, develop, and retain talent. However, many organizations still make those decisions based on instinct and intuition. People Analytics helps managers and senior talent leaders unlock the power of data—increasing rigor, reducing bias, and improving performance.

Benefits

Identify drivers of high performance

We dig deep to uncover the unique factors that influence organization-wide performance. Leaders can apply the insights to their talent-development strategies and recruiting practices and to address individual performance gaps.

Streamline recruiting and diversify hiring

We use advanced analytics to identify characteristics associated with successful hires, and apply rigorous processes to evaluate candidates for those characteristics. The result is a faster process and a more diverse set of hires with increased likelihood of success.

Benchmark against the industry

We harness publicly available professional data to identify new recruiting sources, compare your workforce to competitors, and identify what “great” looks like for key roles.
