Let's consider an example of how this can benefit your company. Your Supply & Demand Report might show you that registered nurse (RN) is a job title many people are searching for, while a home care nurse isn't as popular. This detail demonstrates that if you're interested in hiring for an RN position, attracting candidates might be easier than if you're hiring for a home care nursing job. You'll need your HR department to provide a more enticing offer to home care nurses since the hiring pool for this role is smaller.
In addition to job titles, Supply & Demand Reports show you where top talent is searching for jobs as well as where these candidates currently live. You'll learn about the average education level for those searching for jobs in the industry and where they're going to school.
