Data-driven recruitment and management
Rather than using job descriptions, HR departments will increasingly focus their recruitment activity on staff profiles. These profiles will be based on high-performing people already within the organisation. What qualifications do they have? What experience do they bring? What personality traits do they possess?
A new data-driven approach will be taken for staff management too. Rather than promoting people on personal intuition or pressure from managers, decisions will be based on data gathered about their actual performance. Who has consistently met sales forecasts? Who has suggested productivity changes? Who is outperforming?
