First of all, this sounds horrible. Second... this: It adds a large dose of data analysis, a k a Big Data, to the field of human resource management Genuine, actual data scientist here. We need to talk. FOR FUCK'S SAKE. That is not what Big Data is! Big Data does not mean "data is important". Of course it's important! No, Big Data means that the size of the dataset is part of the problem, requiring approaches to computation that were previously on the fringe, such as non-relational databases and advanced distributed computing techniques, with all the concurrency fun that these needs provide. Also, if I hear one more person call him- or herself a "data junkie" I will fucking lose it. Data is a pain in the ass (ever clean gigabytes of the stuff?) Sure, it's great to have it and you can do some really fun stuff once it's clean, but man...
