Data Integration, the new Strategic Priority for Recruiters and HR teams

Recruiters and HR practitioners can significantly enhance the way they recruit and manage talent, and improve the candidate experience, by integrating their recruitment, HR and talent systems and allowing data to flow between them.

The benefits of connecting systems such as an Applicant Tracking System and a video interviewing system – so that decision-relevant information about candidates gathers automatically in one place – have transformed data integration into a key strategic aspiration for today’s organisations. Once individuals are hired, their data can also be integrated into an HR information system and a talent management platform, to provide predictive talent analytics and success metrics. 

“Integration makes the application process simpler and smoother, as candidates can seamlessly and confidentially be ‘moved’ between different systems as needed, for example to undertake their assessments,” said Dr Achim Preuss, Chief Technology Officer of cut-e. “This not only improves the efficiency of the recruitment process, it makes it easier to identify who will perform best in the role, because all the information needed to make a selection decision is readily available.”

cut-e and Oracle Taleo help Dubai-based airline flydubai process 300,000 applications – with 2.5 million job views – across 110 countries, for 800 jobs each year. Nils Hamsa, Senior Manager of Recruitment at flydubai said: “Our applicants are all potential customers so we wanted to create an automated process that provides a friendly, easy experience for candidates. We’ve connected our different psychometric assessments and video interviewing tools and made them easy to deploy through a single sign-in. The insights we’ve gained from integrating our candidate data have helped us not only to recruit the right people and to understand our talent better but also to make recruitment a revenue contributor in the business, not a cost centre.”
