Directions Magazine -- Every week of every year, at organizations around the globe, managers meet to discuss their recruiting strategy. They review reports that monitor the number of days it takes to close a requisition, the number of candidates applying, and the costs associated with filling each requisition. The data supplied from HRIS databases refine an organization's recruiting focus. Managers look at their sources of hires to figure out what is and isn't working. They look at trends and watch for deltas that indicate a change in the market. And even when the data look good, at every one of these meetings, managers solicit new ideas from the team.
