TROY, Mich., March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to
a growing demand by businesses for targeted employment data, Kelly
Services (NASDAQ: KELYA, KELYB) and Economic Modeling Specialists
Intl (EMSI), a CareerBuilder company, have developed a data
analytics tool designed to evaluate labor market trends.
The Talent Market Analyst is an innovative workforce
planning tool, featuring key insight to support both long-term
strategic planning and short-term sourcing activities. Data is
collected from more than 90 credible sources, updated quarterly,
and kept current with modeling projections to provide businesses
with a unique perspective on current and future employment
trends. The tool provides:
- Detailed employment data covering hundreds of industries and
occupations, with projections up to 10 years into the
future
- Proprietary data from the Kelly Global Workforce Index™ on
employee attitudes and motivations
- Recruiting Environment Index that provides a quick snapshot of
labor dynamics for any area
- Geographic talent pipeline information based on graduation
rates of relevant degrees
Currently, data is available for the U.S., U.K. and Canadian
markets, with plans for expansion to additional countries later
this year.
"Businesses today are putting more focus on workforce analytics
to drive their talent strategy and retain key talent, but
labor market data can be difficult to collect, not to mention often
being incomplete and / or outdated," said Teresa Carroll, Senior Vice President, Centers
of Excellence and General Manager, Kelly
Outsourcing and Consulting Group, Kelly Services.
"Environmental scanning is critical in the workforce strategic
planning process and in making talent decisions more
impactful."
"Big data is changing the way companies recruit and conduct
business," said Brent Rasmussen,
President of CareerBuilder North America. "Having the ability to
easily extract actionable insights from complex data can give
companies a significant competitive advantage in their workforce
planning."
Kelly Services and CareerBuilder are hosting a webinar, "Big
Data, Big Deal," on April 11 at
2:00 p.m. EDT. To register,
