The Chief HR Officer (CHRO), leading the HR function in an organization is responsible for a lot in this era, including helping the business scale quickly and effectively.

For the CHRO to be a key driving component in the business, he or she will have to be more data-driven.

HR analytics can be used to drive the business when used correctly

With a specific purpose, data trends can be identified and used to grow the talent pool that the business needs.

Consequently, with the right talents, a business’ growth will be more consistent.

For instance, if a company wants to expand its sales team, it cannot be taking up everyone with a background in sales.

Instead, what it can do with big data is establish the common trend among its top salespersons and scout for those qualities amongst new candidates.

Often, it isn’t about the qualifications one has on papers that determines their worth. It is their qualities and their aptitude at work that makes a difference when it comes to performance.

This insight will be handy when the CHRO has dozens of candidates on hand who are equally qualified.
