I met the team from Deloitte yesterday who are partnering us on our recruitment benchmarking survey - and a more enthusiastic and brighter bunch of people you could not hope to meet. We were having a look at the first analysis of the data from the questionnaire and it was one of those 'hallelujah' moments. I've lost count of the number of times I've been putting board papers together, or designing target/commission schemes or simply trying to answer the question 'how are we doing?' and wished I had the kind of information at my fingertips that we are going to deliver to the survey participants in September (oh, you lucky people!).
And there's much further we can go with this next year. The frustration was during this first process that recruitment companies seemed to think 'it's just another survey' when in fact this was something very different. Once the analysis has been released I'm sure those that did not take part will wish they had, and that next year when we run this (to be upgraded) process again we get even more participants than the already impressive number who took part this time.
I've got to admit to a level of jealousy of the kinds of resources that are available to the Deloitte team - designers who will make the report look a million dollars, analysts who can turn raw data into works of art and even TV facilities for us to spread the word through informative clips. It's always been me, my trusty Excel spereadsheets and me old mate Photoshop huddled in grim isolation before. So a refreshing change.
In fact this whole process has been very enjoyable (thanks Aleksandra, Vicki, Rebecca et al). Get ready to see the results mid-September.
