SXSW 2020
People Analytics and the Game of Life
Description:
Who you know matters for job search, but what makes you more successful is where you have been and where you want to go! You can get that coveted job if you have a good connection, but you may not be able to grow your career forward.
Our career trajectory data can help us better understand where we would/should go; you can climb the career ladder fast but still may not reach the top (executive), you want to jump the line and be an entrepreneur – maybe now is the time! Being jack-of-all is good and so is master-of-some – depends on what path you have taken and where you want to go. Not every path leads to a desired opportunity.
Life is full of choices and our big-data and machine-learning innovation can help us make better choices! Can I have your data now?
