1. Challenge

As a HR recruiter, we track many different metrics to ensure the efficiency of our recruiting  process. One of these metrics is called Time to Fill and it calculates how long it takes a recruiter  to fill or close an open position within the company. The challenge with this is sometimes we  will put a hold on the job, and this affects the accuracy of the Time to Fill. There are several  other reasons why the accuracy can be affected however, if our Applicant Tracking System is  used correctly, the probability of the metric is more accurate. The best way to ensure this is to  make sure the job is selected and put “on hold” or removed from “on hold”.

2. Selection

The tool that I have selected is Mind Mapping. I am the recruiter and I track the metric using our  system and by using my own excel sheet to compare, I can see if the timing is accurate for the  filled jobs.  This will be inaccurate for an individual who does not manage the metrics or tracks  the jobs.  Mind mapping allows me to plot the information that is in the system.

3. Application

I applied the tool of Mind Mapping to my scenario because of the inaccuracy of the metrics.  Since the reason of this occurring is essentially incorrect data, I can use mind mapping to solve  the inaccuracy of the reports. I can do this by understanding where the discrepancy is and  comparing it to the report and my personal excel sheet.

4. Insight

By using mind mapping, it allows me to create an illustration the inaccuracies of the data. This  helps with creating a better or more efficient way to track the metric.

5. Approach

I think that mind mapping is the most effective approach however, next time I may want to use  Learning Launch because it is a detailed way to show discrepancies and a need for improvements.
