Webinar shows how to use data to kickstart a poorly performing consultant

What’s the secret to improving the performance of a consultant whose effectiveness has dipped?

One of the answers is the correct use of metrics and data to solve the problem. 

According to Toby Babb, CEO of technology and sales recruiter Harrington Starr, recruiters should look at the metrics surrounding the jobs, candidates, CVs and interviews their consultants are working with, as well as the story behind that data.

This was among the conclusions reached in a lively panel debate on ‘Digging Into Data’ held by Recruiter and job search engine Indeed on 27 March. Moderated by Recruiter editor DeeDee Doke, the panel discussion on Recruiter’s first video webinar featured Babb, Katie Mellor, director of hospitality recruiter CJUK, and Indeed’s Dan Fellows, evangelist, employer insights.
