Brent NoackABSTRACT. This paper analyzes the outcomes of an exploratory review of the current research on big data analytics in human resource management. The data used for this study was obtained and replicated from previous research conducted by Bright & Company, Corporate Research Forum, Deloitte, HR Tech World, IBM, LinkedIn, Management Events, McKinsey, and Top Employers Institute. I performed analyses and made estimates regarding structural design changes to cope with the realities of shifting skill needs (%), levels of analytics readiness (%), and companies applying analytics in human resources by industry (%). Data collected from 4,800 respondents are tested against the research model by using structural equation modeling.
