IFDA worked with Carnegie Mellon University’s Master’s of Statistical Practice Program to identify and examine challenges and opportunities in recruiting warehouse and driver positions.

While there is no “silver bullet” to fix challenges with candidate quality and turnover, tracking select data points over time can help a company target the right recruitment channels, create more competitive job postings, and better understand how to identify candidates that are more likely to stay with the company longer.

It identifies a number of questions to which data can provide answers, which specific variables to track and why, and methods of analysis to gain insight and understand trends.
