Beyond cost-per-hire and attrition rate, talent analytics allows you to leverage real-world data and human capital intelligence. This, in turn, helps improve your strategies on recruiting talents, retaining employees, and reducing turnovers.
Talent analytics, therefore, gives you the answer to some of your most significant recruitment questions. Specifically, what regions or places were your company successful in recruiting, and what recruitment strategies had been most successful?
In particular, how did your potential candidates respond to the job listing and your very own employer brand? Moreover, how did these candidates feel about your interview process? At the same time, how did your own employees talk about your brand and job openings to potential candidates?
CMS Wire defines talent analytics as a platform producing insights into the workforce. Specifically, it provides insights into the potential hiring pool and your existing team members.

How can you optimize factors that create higher levels of engagement and retention, and what drives high-performing sales? In particular, are your business leaders successful, and how do you train and develop them to be better?
Additionally, what about the quality of your prospect candidates, and how do you better attract the good ones? Who are the talents that fully satisfy and retain your customers? Finally, do you have talent gaps at present, and can you predict if you will have any in the future?
