Data analytics is like oxygen...
The field of data and analytics is becoming increasingly important to organisations. It covers all facets of business activity whether thats understanding customers, potential markets or operational best practice. It supports strategy and assists with tactical application. This list is endless.
It is now critical for employment, particularly recruitment, where superior knowledge provides a competitive advantage for organisations over their peers. Employers and recruiters have begun to explore more deeply their own internally generated data, to measure, analyse and use conclusions drawn to improve sourcing, process and outcomes.
The role of Hro2 Research is to provide market data at a range of levels. You may be looking at employment data from an international, national or regional basis. You may also be hungry for a better understanding from an industry or occupational segment perspective.
