For many recruiters, successfully tracking the performance of their recruitment campaigns is a commercial imperative. But when it comes down to the practicalities of monitoring, analysing and reporting it can be a minefield. The digital age has brought about a revolution in the amount and level of detail in the data that’s available to advertisers and website owners as every step of a candidate’s journey is visible and recorded. This is great news for analysts, but it can often prove bewildering to recruiters.
