Forget the data. Many companies don't even understand their own processes. I've gone to so many HR departments and asked them how their hiring process works and met blank stares, because there wasn't a single person who knew the entire process from start to finish. Each individual knew bits and pieces, and made assumptions on how the rest of the process worked. Even though my main role is software implementation (enterprise), I spend a ton of time interviewing people and putting those pieces together. It's probably the least favorite part of my job.
