Once it\u2019s carefully analyzed, this data can reveal insights that savvy marketers can use to help their company grow and generate a significant return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>But there is an even more important way to use this data, and smart companies are now realizing this: Data can be used to help recruit some of the best employees you\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: The hiring process, as detailed as it is, is still somewhat hit-or-miss. In a , Gavin Gustafson, Communications Manager at inContact, a leading call center provider, took a closer look at data and how it relates to the hiring process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data you are capturing during the quality management process is a gold mine of insight for your business. One very underutilized connection is recruiting,\u201d Gustafson wrote. \u201cMeasuring the right behaviors in your quality process is critical to leveraging the data in other departments. So, first, let\u2019s discuss some of the basic soft skills that are commonly measured during the quality process. By comparing some of your soft skills scores to customer satisfaction scores, you can identify the soft skills that have the greatest impact on customer satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He goes on to point out that some agents with \u201ctop-notch, active listening skills show a positive correlation with customer satisfaction, whereas an enthusiastic tone may not have any such correlation.\u201d Consequently, he concludes that the latter trait may not be as critical in the hiring process as was once believed.<\/p>\n<p>While that is just one example, Gustafson emphasizes that other correlation methods can be used to identify a candidate\u2019s strengths to ensure they align with the company\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUse this information to recruit individuals who will be successful and make a positive impact at your center,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a win-win for your business because agents want to be successful, and if you take the time to identify the right individuals, they\u2019ll be more satisfied and engaged when they succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pixel.quantserve.com\/pixel\/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&amp;url=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Google+\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 25, 2015 By now most everyone in the enterprise is starting to catch on to the fact that the data you capture from calls and other interactions with your clients has some real value beyond just asking if they&rsquo;re happy or not.&nbsp;
