Data-driven hiring: Attracting talent that stays and thrives
52% of new hires leave within the first six months. Why? Because too many hiring strategies prioritise speed over strategy. In today’s volatile labour market, recruitment teams can no longer afford to make short-sighted hiring decisions.
This high-impact webinar is designed to challenge conventional thinking and equip Talent Acquisition and Recruitment professionals with data-driven, long-term solutions. We’ve learnt how investing wisely in recruitment can drive productivity, reduce attrition, and unlock real ROI.
Topics discussed:
- Why smart investment in your people now can unlock bigger gains in productivity and performance later.
- A look at what’s really happening in the job market — and what it means for your hiring plans.
- Why things like purpose, values, and sustainability are now deal-breakers for top talent.
- Real-life examples of how leading companies are using workforce data to plan better and stay ahead.
- The key metrics every TA leader should be tracking to show the impact of their hiring strategy.
