  10. Examples Challenge: Minneapolis needed Automotive Technicians to work in the city yet they were barely getting any applications. Solution: Using the EMSI tool we were able to identify counties outside of the metropolitan areas which had a much higher population of experienced technicians.

  11. Examples Challenge: Entered Las Vegas metro market with 16 new locations over a 3 year period. Needed to fully staff and train with local talent. Solution: Using the Supply and Demand portal we created targeted advertising (digital, billboards, hiring events) for recruiting. Using EMSI tool we identified competitive wages in the marketplace.

  12. Examples Challenge: West Texas competition for talent was so high with the oil industry we needed to get a better understanding of what we had to pay to attract talent. Solution: Using the data from EMSI we were able to compare our wages to that being paid in the oil fields and adjust accordingly.

  13. Future Usage • IT and Engineering shortage • Targeted university recruiting and understanding where we can get the best bang for the buck • Competitive compensation strategies to attract talent to the organization • Formulate our workforce management plan to overcome the retirement cliff
