Concerned about the brain drain , Google used a tried and tested tool to solve the problem: an algorithm.
Recently, the search giant has created a special database that contains all the information about employees, including their payment history, reviews and recommendations, career facts, interview answers, etc. On this basis, they began to run an algorithm that calculates the probability with which this particular employee will want to leave the company. That is, a constantly updated list of “risky positions” is obtained. Accordingly, the company can start searching for employees for these vacancies in advance or offer the existing employee the best working conditions.
Google doesn’t provide specific details about the algorithm that is currently being tested. But the first results of his work are encouraging: he has already figured out a number of employees who are underloaded with work (this is the main reason why people leave the company). ')
Many large companies in the IT industry are beginning to use data mining in the HR department . According to experts, Google is leading among them.
