Using the Hiring velocity Report

To access the report, click the Reports page in the navigation bar. 

• Use the drop-down options to filter the report and specify the desired timeframe.
• The Hiring velocity is handy to spot inefficiencies in your hiring process and selecting the right timeframe is crucial to the results. 

By default, the results include candidates created (sourced or applied) within the specified timeframe. Still, you can include candidates created before the report's start date from the checkbox, which is explained in this section. 

 

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. 

Average days from sourced/applied to pipeline stage:

Each pipeline stage is a different color, and the number of days taken is 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 events, comments, or evaluations occurred at each stage of the pipeline and compare them to the time spent in each stage.

If you see any lines in red, those are the stages where candidates spend the most time (higher avg days in stage). In the above example, the Shortlisted and Test stages seem to be where things take the longest, with candidates staying there longer than other stages before moving forward.

Report checkbox: include earlier candidates

At the top left of the reports page, there is an option to include candidates created before your chosen date range.

• Check this box to view all activities within the specified date range, including candidates created before the specified date range.
• Uncheck this box to view only the data for candidates created within the specified date range.

In the example above, we set the time filter to 'this year: 1/1/2024 to 10/8/2024' and included candidates created before January 1, 2024 (report's start date).

• A candidate created on December 1, 2023, with an activity concerning them created between January 1, 2024, and October 8, 2024 (e.g., an email sent on October 1) will be included in the report (when counting the number of emails).
• However, if the same candidate has no activity during the specified date range, they will not be included in the report.
