Predictive HR Analytics: Mastering the HR Metric

Buen libro, ideal para tener a mano en los procesos de gestión de personas

The case studies are very useful

First, there are many, many grammatical and statistical errors that frustrate knowledgeable readers, but more importantly many of the analyses themselves are superficial, assume "causes" that are unfounded, both statistically and logically, and are paired w/ bad explanations that, again, frustrate knowledgeable readers. Anyway, I will still use this book, but as a professor, it must be used very carefully - i.e., I am providing additional explanations, both statistical, logical, and ethical, that provide my students w/ a more realistic view of the world from an HR/analytics perspective.

The book is well documented. It's suitable for beginners and even experts in the field of business analytics.

Has good details

Explica muy bien cómo usar análisis de datos aplicado a Recursos Humanos. Está muy centrado en los análisis de datos clásicos y te da los "datasets" para que vayas haciendo a la vez los análisis con SPSS. Me resultó muy útil para refrescar contenidos estadísticos. Ofrece también tablas resumen de pruebas estadísticas que son de lo más útil que he encontrado hasta ahora.

In general it is a very interesting book as an introduction to HR analytics. It incorporates a lot of examples some of which are very useful. Some other were not as useful on my point of view. The book provides complete case studies in different fields with extensive explanations from a statistical point of view. I would have been more happy if the book dedicated a greater share to recruitment analytics or provided better explanations about the practical implications of the statistical results extracted alongside with examples of specific proposals. It is true that the book does already have a chapter responding to the "so what?" question but I think that it could be more extensive. In terms of organization instead of having a separate chapter at the end of the book answering the "so what question" a special appendix could be included in each chapter.

Overall, I would say this is a bad beginner book. As other professors noted, the statistics and overall quality is not good. The book is mostly SPSS screenshots. It was too much work to get the data sets for my taste. I think this is what beginners might expect, and without a background in statistics they could be even happy with this book. On the upside, the book could be worse. I would give it 1.25 stars.

A definitive guide for every HR Pro. Easy to follow.
