In this insightful episode of Time to Hire, host Lamees Abourahma speaks with Agile One executives Andrea Barre (VP of RPO) and Jordan Morrow (SVP of Data and AI Transformation) about transforming talent acquisition through data analytics. Barre and Morrow discuss how organizations can pivot from reactive recruitment to strategic workforce planning by using high-quality data and AI. They explore essential metrics for optimizing hiring processes, strategies for aligning talent acquisition with business goals, and the critical role of data literacy across all organizational levels. Barre and Morrow emphasize that successful implementation requires more than just technology—it demands a culture where people understand and effectively use data.

The conversation covers:

• Key metrics organizations should track to optimize their hiring processes
• The transition from point solutions to holistic ecosystem approaches in data strategy
• How RPO providers can bridge the gap between talent acquisition, business objectives, and data teams
• Practical strategies for overcoming the challenges in implementing data-driven talent acquisition
• The essential role of AI and automation as enablers that augment human capabilities rather than replace them
• The importance of data literacy across all levels of an organization for successful implementation

This conversation provides valuable guidance for TA and HR leaders seeking to future-proof their talent acquisition strategies in today's workplace.
