Summary:

Tarush Aggarwal has been at the forefront of HR data analytics since it gained recognition in 2011. He was Salesforce Analytics Team’s first data engineer and, later, got the opportunity to build up an international data team at WeWork that scaled up to over 100 people from its initial 5. He then moved to Shanghai and did it all again for our rapidly growing business in China. Along the way, he’s learned important lessons from personal experience on the best ways to grow a data team.

In this episode, Tarush talks about how HR teams can get more out of their data by leveraging infrastructure.

Quotes:

“A data team with a hundred people acts very differently from a data team with 3, 4, or 5 people . . . So unfortunately, what we see is that a lot of [smaller] HR analytics team don't really get to leverage the more mature technology of their sister, larger data teams.”

“In reality, [HR analytics solutions of the future] will probably be hybrid, where you get 60-70% of what you want out of the box and [you can customize] the remaining 30-40%.”
