Webcast - Hiring in an Unfair Game: The Moneyball of Recruiting

June 20, 2012, 2:00pm ET

Baseball is like recruiting. Every seasoned expert knows how to achieve success and can easily spot the obvious traits of great performers. Or do they? Moneyball, the Michael Lewis bestseller and Brad Pitt film, shows that the experts do get it wrong – or, at least, there are better, more reliable ways to learn and understand the secrets of success. Put most simply: look at the facts.

Similarly in recruiting, there are better and more reliable ways to recruit, manage talent, and place the right people in the right jobs. The “moneyball” of recruiting is the art and science of winning an unfair game. Science and analytics can and do result in a greater likelihood of recruiting the right people into the jobs where they will perform at top levels. These have also been proven to identify the most likely high quality hires and to generate the most compelling return on investment.

With the lessons from Moneyball, every recruiter can get the results of top-performing organizations, at a scale and fraction of current recruitment costs.

Paul Basile, CEO of Matchpoint Careers, a veteran business leader and an H.R. expert who has lived and worked in five industries in seven countries, will share insights, examples and the validated science that offers practical solutions to today’s recruitment dilemmas.
