So, we must start with understanding Big Data? 
• Not looking for a needle in a 
haystack (that’s easy…can 
you spot it?) 
- Looking for a unique piece 
of hay in hundreds of 
millions of haystacks 
• Differs from tradition data in

How predictive analytics works 
• Aggregate, input, 
scrape, import, or 
track information 
sources 
Information (could 
be Big Data) 
Machine learning 
• Makes decisions 
based on previously 
validated outcomes 
• Learn new outcomes 
that will be used in 
future decision making 
• Feed/output data to 
visualization or 
rendering software 
• Archive decision 
results for future query 
Display predictive

(further explained on next slide)
Data validation services simplified 22 
Data validation services
Some practical examples 
Analyze any number of variables to understand employee job seeking trends 
Analyze trends in specific groups 
Trends view instantly shows how actively your 
employees are looking for work, over a period of 
time from three months to five years. 
Quickly and intuitively identify cyclicality or 
seasonality to job seeking behaviors, and 
correlate data to other company initiatives. 
23
Some practical examples 
Support Workforce Planning by analyzing attrition and retention rates based on job seeking behavior 
Monitor workforce development plan 
The inclusion of analytics into a workforce 
planning initiative are essential to mapping the 
most accurate current workforce profile of any 
organization. 
24
Q&A 
25 
Business case examples
• The average cost of replacing an employee is 29%-46% of salary 
• At a wage of 30k€ per annum, cost to replace is 9-12k€ 
• Average attrition of 8% across 3,000 employees equals 240 leavers 
- Cost to replace 240 leavers x 10k€ is 2.4m€ 
- Cost of predictive analytics software per annum 30-80k€ 
26 
Reduce voluntary attrition
27 
Reduce recruiting costs 
• Most of (outbound) recruiters/researchers time is spent 
talking with candidates who are not ready to make a move 
• Calculate avoided time (or people) x cost = savings
Q&A 
28 
Remember, CFO’s care about €’s 
not promises 
