Visual data
Average days to move forward:
The stacked bar chart at the top of the page shows every stage in the pipeline and the average time a candidate takes to move forward from each stage. For example, if the bar chart shows “Applied: 4 days” that means it takes an average of 4 days for candidates to move forward from applied to any other stage in the pipeline.
By default, the results include candidates that were created (sourced or applied) within the timeframe you have specified. At the top left of the reports page, there is an option to include the candidates that applied for the job before your chosen date range.
- Check this box: to include all moves forward within the specified date range
- Uncheck this box: to view only the data for candidates who applied or were sourced after the report’s start date
Average days from sourced/applied to pipeline stage:
Each pipeline stage is a different color, and the number of days taken is clearly visible above each arrow. This chart shows the average number of days it took candidates to move from Sourced/Applied to any given stage.
Tabular data
The table combines the data to show:
- the average days from sourced or applied to each stage in the pipeline
- the average days to move forward from a pipeline stage
- additional relevant actions that occurred within each stage
For example, you can see how many evaluations occurred at each stage of the pipeline, and compare it to the amount of time spent in each stage.
