6 What is BIG DATA? Big Data is the mining of lots integrated data, made difficult by the vast quantity and loose conformity of data We ve always generated more data than we can store, more demand for systems resources than processors or RAM could practically supply (e.g. root cause of the Y2K bug) Big Data is really about our technological limitations, and the gymnastics we go through to overcome them What has changed is our increasing value we place on data, that it is now worth the trouble and expense to handle

12 The Problem As Jordan the CW Program Manager continues his quest to curb independent contractor related risks, he knows that his core underlying root cause is recruiting effectiveness. Joe doesn t negate the specificity of skills and experience required by HTT managers, but he does question the scarcity.

13 The Root Cause(s) While the use of the current Preferred Supplier List (PSL) of three national suppliers has been effective in negotiating lower mark-up rates, managers have complained of inadequate candidate quality and supply. Two root causes were identified, (a) PSL recruiters lacked fluency in HTT-specific requirements; and, (b) PSL recruiters non-specialized candidate pool was predominantly sourced from harvesting and filtering of mainstream job board profiles/resumes.

14 The Impact HTT positions that cannot be filled internally are turned over to preferred third-party agencies, with different workflows for direct hire positions and contingent assignments. Even when third-party recruiters successfully help us reach qualified candidates for our open positions, our annual spend on supplier fees (average placement fee of 20%- 25% for direct hire) and payrolling of premium rate independent contractors can put us significantly over budget, especially during peak hiring periods. That s when overtime is most likely to be happening, too, worsening the already bad situation Mary Scottel, HTT Director of Talent Acquisition.

15 The Solution is up to you!

16 Table Discussion Topics How can Jordan begin to build a relationship with managers to better understand their requirements and possible sources of talent? What data is available or can be generated to improve the intelligence of the existing recruitment information flow? What are options for leveraging this data? Considering the volume and disparate nature of related data, what types of internal and external support must Jordan seek in order to be successful? What other sourcing methods & technologies are available to address HTT s talent needs less conventionally (e.g. crowd sourcing, recruiter marketplace, talent exchanges, online work/service communities)?

23 What Customers are Saying... It is a very interesting concept that has been proven beyond a doubt to help our recruiting and hiring. I worked with agencies that I never knew existed that filled key positions for us. Our hard to fill positions were perfect for Scout, it increased our reach to new candidates and cut our time to hire drastically. It also saved me time as I did not have to communicate my needs with several agencies. I love the idea of Scout changing how we recruit at Samaritan. Being such a large healthcare provider we cannot offer to waste time on non-qualified candidates. Scout directed us to the best recruiters with experience in place positions within the healthcare industry I posted one of my most hard to fill positions with a Watch & See attitude. The response and clarity of resumes were outstanding. Scout has introduced me to candidates that I would have never found in my preferred agency list.
