In today’s competitive sales environment, sales managers and business leaders are turning increasingly to data analytics for insight and answers as to how to better penetrate accounts, increase sales, and grow revenues. Distributors and manufacturers are leaning on data to aid in making decisions.
We are now seeing more companies looking to hire someone as their analytics specialist to help them sort through the overwhelming amount of data that technology can provide. Many traditional recruitment firms in our industry are hired for traditional sales, operations, and procurement related positions. These firms do not have the technical staff or inherent internal knowledge to be able to search for, select, and present talent for data analytics positions.
Recruiting in data analytics and technology requires technical knowledge and experience to qualify an individual. A company that wants to get the best results, needs a recruiter versed in the “language” of those that work in data analysis.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor the average cost of a bad hiring decision is at least 30% of the individual’s first year expected earnings. Hiring the right individuals in this competitive landscape for top talent is becoming increasingly more important.
