Centralized Data Collection

Visualization of data collection from gadgets on the map of the planet earth.

Challenge: Many organizations struggle to accurately measure the return on investment (ROI) of their recruitment advertising. Siloed data across various job boards and platforms makes it difficult to understand the true cost and effectiveness of each hiring channel. This is where centralized-data-collection becomes crucial. Hidden costs, like time spent screening unqualified candidates, further obscure the picture, leaving businesses unsure where to allocate their recruitment budget for optimal results.

Solution: We recently built a custom project that provides a unified view of recruitment performance by aggregating data from multiple sources, including leading job boards like Indeed and ZipRecruiter. Centralized data-collection in this manner eliminates data silos and empowered the businesses to understand their recruitment spending at a granular level.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Centralized Data Collection: The platform seamlessly integrates with various recruitment publishers, automatically collecting data on ad spend, applicant volume, and hiring outcomes. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures a comprehensive view of all recruitment activities.
  • Cost-Per-Hire Transparency: By consolidating spending data and tracking successful hires, our analytics package calculates the true cost-per-hire for each job posting and platform. This granular insight allows businesses to identify their most cost-effective recruitment channels, all thanks to centralized data collection.
  • Cost Center Level Analysis: Our platform provides cost center level reporting, enabling organizations to understand recruitment spending and effectiveness across different departments or teams. With centralized-data-collection, this facilitates data-driven budget allocation and resource optimization.
  • Actionable Insights: Beyond simply reporting data, our analytics package provides actionable insights that empower businesses to optimize their recruitment strategies. By understanding which platforms and job postings are generating the best results, organizations can refine their approach and maximize their ROI.
