Data in recruiting seems to be on everyone’s minds these days. In fact, we recently recommended that if you make one professional resolution in 2013, it should be to embrace data-driven recruiting.

On the Talent Acquisition team here at LinkedIn, we’ve tapped into the incredible data available on our site to source more effectively, educate our hiring managers, and build trusted advisor status with our business partners. I thought I’d share three fundamental principles that helped us become more data-driven.

A few weeks ago, we announced the Talent Connect recast series. If you weren’t able to make the conference in Las Vegas, this is a great way to take advantage of the best practices, data and tips shared at Talent Connect.

In December, we’ll provide a double-click on Talent Pipeline, the exciting new product announced at the conference, and recast a session on how LinkedIn data can power your recruiting strategy. Here’s more info on these webcasts and how you can register:

Did you attend Talent Connect Las Vegas last month?  If you were unable to attend—or you simply couldn’t make it to all of the nearly 60 sessions available during the three-day event—we have some good news.

This month, we’re launching a series of Talent Connect “recast” webcasts. These online events will continue into 2012, and they will bring together speakers from the most popular and highly-rated sessions at the conference—enabling you and your team to leverage learnings from Talent Connect throughout the year.
