geosearch — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:28:09 +0000

Employers (both geospatial and otherwise) are now focusing on data reports that calculate metrics on employee attrition, headcount, promotions, success, and expenses. These reports are used in recruiting strategy, workforce planning, and succession programs. Sophisticated analytic tools are becoming common for large corporate employers that want an advantage in reducing hiring mistakes and increasing their percentage of top talent. In a new blog post on the Wall Street Journal Moneyball and the HR Department, Joseph Walker reports that the HR industry is starting to use the same kind of statistical analysis highlighted in the film Moneyball which was based on the Michael Lewis book on the influence data crunching has on drafting competitive baseball rosters.

That blog said “…hiring organizations that act with arrogance and blatant disrespect, just because they happen to be growing in this down market, would benefit from some sole searching and a small dose of modesty.” At the time, all headlines were gloom and doom. An economic turn around wasn’t on the horizon and many greedy organizations took advantage of the circumstances to hook top talent while burning bridges with runner up’s.

ASPRS recently conducted a survey of 129 ASPRS Sustaining Member career websites, and determined that in the month of November, at least 73 ASPRS Sustaining Member companies/agencies had job postings on their websites that consisted of positions ranging from entry-level jobs to high-level executive positions.
“We are very excited with these statistics,” said Brian Murphy, Vice Chair of the ASPRS Sustaining Members Council. “While the national and local media continue to saturate the airwaves with reports on high unemployment, we feel that these survey results provide a particularly positive outlook for students and individuals who might be seeking jobs within the geospatial industry.”
