A great shift is happening within the recruiting industry as Big Data, and the need for clean data has taken center stage.\u00a0 Although recruiting firms have always touted their databases as being a differentiating factor, all recruiters know the importance of a current live search.\u00a0 \u00a0The databases may be one stop, among a checklist of places we would search, but it was never our only spot. \u00a0And why would even the most robust databases not fulfill our job searches?\u00a0 Because contact information changes too often.\u00a0Contact information becomes stale shortly after inputting the details.\u00a0 If someone is not changing their job, they\u2019re likely\u00a0changing their title,\u00a0their email, or their cell phone number.<\/p>\n

Job Boards As Data Sources<\/h3>\n

The only place that had the latest contact information\u00a0was often job boards, since anyone looking for a job\u00a0would post their latest information and resumes there.\u00a0But all recruiters and companies\u00a0know that it\u2019s the passive candidates you are always after. The right candidates are\u00a0typically not the ones seeking you, or posting their data\u00a0on job boards.\u00a0 The best talent typically gets found by the recruiter, and usually not the other way around.<\/p>\n

Cloud Computing And Living Databases<\/h3>\n

Cloud computing that enables living databases have now become a game changer in the recruiting industry.\u00a0The way smart recruiters can now utilize living databases\u00a0has become a differentiator separating the good recruiters from the great ones.\u00a0 Automating the \u201chunt and find\u201d part of the search process enables sourcers and recruiters to launch effective searches faster than ever before.<\/p>\n

This new technology has disrupted the world of recruiting.\u00a0 In this new playing field, the recruiter\u2019s new best friends are the software companies that can produce easy, accurate, clean contact lists of that perfect profiled candidate.\u00a0It was by no accident that one of the first applications Salesforce signed up was with a software company who specializes in cleaning and gathering accurate contact data.\u00a0 Ringlead was the first app partner to Salesforce, even before their was an app store! Today, Ringlead\u2019s CEO, trained in software engineering and recruiting, epitomizes the perfect synergies between automated data\u00a0and recruiting.<\/p>\n

Because of these innovations in speedy contact data, and list building, there\u2019s never been a better time to be a recruiter.\u00a0 It\u2019s still a high margin business that adds tremendous value, and software now makes\u00a0finding the right person, at the right team, easier than ever.<\/p>\n

How Exactly Is Big Data Making Talent Acquisition Better?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s all in the data now available, and how fast it can be accessed. Instead of spending the first week, and up to a month, trying to find and source the right job title, for the right candidate, in the right industry, in the exact region needed, now you can use tools<\/a>\u00a0to create your targeted list in minutes.\u00a0Now, instead of using multiple search tactics, and hunting that perfect profile lurking among multiple sites, \u00a0you can now attain that list of 200 candidates with a couple clicks within your data portal.\u00a0That way\u00a0you can start making calls, instead of researching who to call.<\/p>\n

This is a sourcer\u2019s dream, as well as a recruiter\u2019s best friend.\u00a0 This improved data, that can be delivered to you, desktop or mobile, is changing the recruiter\u2019s desk, workload, and lifestyle. How do you become the fastest?\u00a0You have the best technology\u00a0and data partner in the market.\u00a0If cash is King, data is now Queen.<\/p>\n
