HR analytics is the operational data analysis around classic HR metrics: turnover, average vacancy duration, recruiting funnel, time-to-hire, sickness rates, diversity KPIs, personnel costs. It overlaps with people analytics but is more operational and reporting-oriented.
Typical tools are business-intelligence platforms like Tableau, Power BI or Looker, connected to HR systems. Cloud-based HR suites often bring their own analytics modules that produce standard reports automatically. A clean data foundation is essential: harmonised master data, clear definitions, documented processes.
For HR leaders, HR analytics is a tool for strategic workforce planning – for example to detect bottlenecks in a job family early. For candidates it is indirectly visible in response times, process quality and transparency throughout the hiring journey.
Lunigi uses its own analytics to continuously improve match quality in the daily email – candidates only give brief feedback ("fits" or "does not fit"), the system learns from it.
