Visual data
The bar chart shows the number of candidates that reached the stage
There are 3 colors for each bar, representing the following:
- Advanced (moved forward)
- Disqualified
- Pending review
Tabular data
A detailed table outlining all the information is located directly below the bar chart. Alongside candidate counts, the table shows conversion percentages in two dedicated columns to help you assess pipeline efficiency at each stage:
- Total candidates: shows what percentage of total new candidates reached each stage. For example, if 3 out of 9 new candidates reached the Interview stage, the Interview row shows a conversion of 33%.
- Advanced candidates: shows what percentage of candidates at that stage were moved forward. For example, if 2 out of 3 Interview candidates advanced, the row shows 67%.
Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.

How candidate counts are calculated
The Hiring funnel report reads data from the candidate table and looks at each candidate's current stage at the time the report is generated. It applies a funnel assumption: a candidate at a given stage is counted as having passed through all previous stages as well.
This means that regardless of how a candidate reached their current stage, the report counts them in every stage that precedes it. For example, a candidate currently in the Interview stage will be counted in New, Screening Call, and Interview — even if they were added directly to Interview or skipped some stages along the way.
Similarly, if a candidate's stage has ended (for example, they were disqualified or moved forward from a stage), the report counts them as having passed through all stages up to and including the stage they ended up in.
Note: Because of this funnel assumption, candidate counts in this report may be higher at earlier stages than what you'd see in the Hiring velocity report, which is based on actual candidate activity per stage.
