The influence of Big Data on daily life is undeniable. Learning to decipher the vast amount of data it delivers is a real game-changer for businesses, enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. This very observation has led several researchers to focus on the issue of recruitment in this sector.
Big Data, a sector that's recruiting
Indeed, a study reported by jdd.fr (source at the end of the article) indicates that this sector is poised to generate a significant number of jobs (137,000). And that's not all, as it could generate over €1 trillion. These are staggering figures, yet they are very real.
Big data requires highly qualified professionals.
What would Big Data be without the meticulous work carried out behind the scenes by all these professionals? Among these professions, some profiles, according to current trends, are particularly sought after by a large number of recruiters. Furthermore, Big Data jobs are booming, and Big Data salaries are only increasing.
Big data is changing recruiters' habits
The complexity of the available positions requires workers to possess a wide range of skills. The acute talent shortage in certain fields necessitates the use of information derived from Big Data analysis.
• More precise profiling: recruiters no longer hesitate to carry out precise profiling in a specific area to recruit the candidate more easily.
• Predicting the affinity of the profile with the company: With the use of modern data management tools, it is possible to assess the behavior of a person in a company.
Even though it sounds a bit like the movie " Minority Report ", the statistics are there, and the margin of error is decreasing more and more.
These new features help recruiters pre-select the profiles they need most. In-depth analysis can even contribute to selecting candidates likely to have the ideal personality and profile for a given position.
Big data then fills the gap left by recruiters' inability to analyze large volumes of data. Big data sorts and shapes the recruiter's hunting ground.
When should Big Data processing be used?
The use of Big Data can be done in several areas of focus.
• Improve the recruitment mechanism: data processing is the key to successful digital recruitment.
The management tools highlight all possible scenarios, allowing you to choose the professional profile that best matches the company culture.
• Facilitates the development of internal skills: through its predictive power, Big Data can be used to determine the profiles of workers who can evolve or broaden their skills for other positions.
• Improves business performance: machine capabilities surpass human capabilities on certain information processing tasks (e.g., sorting). Analytical tools will help humans make better decisions.
Candidate's side
Big data isn't just for recruiters, of course, and candidates can use the free tools available online to conduct effective job searches. Candidates can easily find a recruiter's contact information or Google them to learn more.
With all these advantages, there is no doubt that Big Data will establish itself in the coming years as a key concept in companies' employee recruitment processes.
