Candidate Pipeline Analytics provide insight into:

  • Your ability to attract high-quality candidates: By analyzing volumes and the conversion rates of the number of initial candidates compared to the number of candidates that have progressed to each of the hiring stages, you can understand if you are attracting enough high-quality candidates to meet your business needs.
  • For example:
    • 30% of initial candidates make it to phone screen
    • 5% of initial candidates make it to interview
    • If these rates are expected, you can quickly understand if you have the right volume to meet hiring needs
    • If these rates are low, then you can focus on understanding where to make changes to increase conversion rates.
  • Where you are hitting challenges in progressing candidates: Analyzing volume and conversion rates between each of the stages will let you know where candidates are dropping off in the process.
  • For example:
    • 70% of candidates from phone screen make it to 1st round interviews
    • 30% of those candidates in 1st round interviews make it to 2nd round interviews
    • This seems to indicate that there is an issue in screening for the right candidates. Are adjustments needed in the screening criteria being used by recruiters to better match the needs of the hiring manager?

Drive Actions with Context

From overall volume and conversion measures, it’s possible to drill down to obtain segmented views by role, by department, by channel, by geography, or other important business elements. This provides a wealth of knowledge and provides answers to the questions:

“Do we have the right volume and conversion rates to meet the business objective of hiring a team of software developers in Seattle in the next 3 months?”

“Are we getting the expected quality candidate pool from the new recruiting source we just invested in?

By looking at data contextually, based on business needs, areas of focus become crystal clear.
