This is for administrators.
Analytics and Reports help organizations measure recruiting performance, identify trends, and make informed hiring decisions. Although both tools use the same recruiting data, they serve different purposes.
- Analytics provides an interactive dashboard that helps users visualize recruiting activity, identify trends, and uncover process bottlenecks through charts and summary metrics.
- Reports provide detailed, exportable datasets that can be used to evaluate recruiting effectiveness and support operational decision-making.
Access requirements
- Analytics is available to all users in Recruiting.
-
Reports are limited to Administrator and Staffing users.
- If a user cannot access Reports directly, an Administrator or Staffing user can export report results and share them as needed.
Analytics vs. Reports
Analytics
Analytics is designed to transform recruiting data into visual insights.
Common uses include:
- Monitoring candidate volume
- Identifying recruiting bottlenecks
- Measuring stage progression
- Viewing source effectiveness
- Tracking hiring trends over time
Analytics focuses on answering questions such as:
- How many candidates entered the hiring process?
- Where are candidates getting stuck?
- How long does it take to move candidates through stages?
- Which sources generate the strongest candidate pipelines?
Reports
Reports are designed to provide detailed recruiting data in a structured format.
Common uses include:
- Auditing recruiting activity
- Sharing recruiting metrics with leadership
- Exporting candidate and requisition data
- Comparing recruiting sources
- Building custom Excel analyses
Reports focus on answering questions such as:
- Which candidates reached a specific stage?
- Which jobs were active during a given timeframe?
- What sources produced the most hires?
- Which custom fields should be included in reporting?
Best Practices
To ensure Analytics and Reports contain accurate information:
- Move candidates to the appropriate workflow stages as activity occurs.
- Mark jobs as Closed or Filled when appropriate.
- Use tracking links when posting jobs externally.
The quality of reporting is directly tied to the quality of the recruiting data entered into the system.
