HR Digital Database

The company’s HR Digital Database contains data on the most common HR functions including recruitment, performance management, and talent management. Although the modules in the HR Digital Database differ from company to company, there is often a common group of modules that contain data useful for people analytics.

Recruiting

Recruiting data gathered from the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is the first common data source in the HR Digital Database. This includes the number of candidates who applied, their CVs and other characteristics, as well as data about the recruitment funnel, recruitment sources, selection, and so on. This system is the most common input for recruiting metrics.

Demographic data

Another key data source is HR Digital Database employee records. This includes the employee ID, name, gender, date of birth, residence, position, department, cost center specifications, termination date, and so on. These demographic data are often included in an analysis as control variables. Also, when data is combined manually, this is often the database that is enriched with data from other systems by matching the employee’s ID as a unique identifier.
