PROJECT 4

Hiring Process Analytics

Description:

The project "Hiring Process Analytics" is a comprehensive data analytics task

aimed at understanding and improving the hiring process within a multinational
company, similar to Google. The project involves analyzing a dataset of previous
hires, performing various tasks using Microsoft Excel, and presenting the
findings in a report.

Objective:
The main goal is to analyze the hiring process data to draw meaningful insights
that can contribute to improving the company's hiring process.

Approach:
Data Exploration:

1. Begin by thoroughly examining the dataset to understand its structure,

columns, and content.
2. Identify any potential challenges, such as missing values, outliers, or
columns that need to be combined.

Handling Missing Data:

1. Use Excel functions like COUNT and IF to identify missing values in relevant
columns.
2. Decide on the best strategy to handle missing data:
• For numerical data: Consider imputation with mean or median.
• For categorical data: Use mode or imputation based on context.

Clubbing Columns:

1. Identify columns with multiple categories that can be combined for simplified
analysis.
2. Use Excel functions like CONCATENATE or & to merge columns.

Outlier Detection:

1. Use Excel functions like QUARTILE or IQR to identify potential outliers.

2. Visualize data using box plots or scatter plots to identify anomalies.
Removing Outliers:

1. Decide on the strategy for handling outliers:

2. Remove outliers if they significantly affect the analysis.
3. Replace outliers with a reasonable value if removal is not appropriate.

Data Summary:

1. Use Excel functions like AVERAGE, MEDIAN, and SUM to calculate

relevant statistics.
2. Create visualizations (bar charts, pie charts) to represent key insights.

Tech Stack Used:

Software: Microsoft Excel 2019
Description: Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that is part of the
Microsoft Office suite. Excel 2019, in particular, is the version used for this
project.
Key Features and Functions:
• Pivot Tables: Powerful for data summarization and analysis.
• Functions and Formulas: Extensive set for statistical calculations and
data manipulation.
• Charting Tools: Variety of charts (bar, pie, etc.) for effective data
visualization.
• Data Cleaning Tools: Find and Replace, Text to Columns, Data
Validation for data cleaning.
• Conditional Formatting: Enhances data visualization by highlighting
specific trends or conditions.
Advantages:
✓ Widely used and accessible.
✓ User-friendly interface suitable for various skill levels.
✓ Compatibility for easy sharing and collaboration.
✓ Versatile for a range of data analysis tasks.
Insights and Result:
Data Analytics Tasks:
A. Hiring Analysis: The hiring process involves bringing new individuals into the
organization for various roles.

Your Task: Determine the gender distribution of hires. How many males and
females have been hired by the company?

No.of Males Hired = 2563 (Formula: =COUNTIFS(D:D,"Male",C:C,"Hired"))

No.of Females Hired=1856(Formula: =COUNTIFS(D:D,"Female",C:C,"Hired"))

B. Salary Analysis: The average salary is calculated by adding up the salaries of a

group of employees and then dividing the total by the number of employees.

Your Task: What is the average salary offered by this company? Use Excel
functions to calculate this.

The Average salary offered by the company = 49983.03

Formula:=SUM(G:G)/COUNT(G:G)

C. Salary Distribution: Class intervals represent ranges of values, in this case,

salary ranges. The class interval is the difference between the upper and lower limits
of a class.

Your Task: Create class intervals for the salaries in the company. This will help you
understand the salary distribution.
From the above class interval of salary, I have observed that the salary range between
40100-50099 is offered to the maximum no.of employees(777) when considered both
hired and rejected.

From the above class interval of salary, I have observed that the salary range between
40100-50099 is offered to a maximum no.of employees(523).when considered only
the hired employees.

D. Departmental Analysis: Visualizing data through charts and plots is a crucial

part of data analysis.

Your Task: Use a pie chart, bar graph, or any other suitable visualization to show
the proportion of people working in different departments.

E. Position Tier Analysis: Different positions within a company often have different
tiers or levels.

Your Task: Use a chart or graph to represent the different position tiers within the
company. This will help you understand the distribution of positions across different
tiers.

Conclusion:
The approach involves a systematic and structured process of data exploration,
cleaning, analysis, and visualization using Microsoft Excel. It emphasizes
leveraging Excel functions, tools, and statistical measures to derive meaningful
insights from the hiring process data. The final output is a well-documented report
that presents findings, recommendations, and a clear understanding of the hiring
process analytics.
