Use the form available on the Analytics Solutions page to capture your definitions and submit them to your Client Success Manager or support.

The following placeholders are built into your view 1.0 to capture the metrics that you’ll most likely need in your reports. Defining these up front will save you significant time in future report builds and in using the EXEC Templates.

Time to Fill (or Hire, or Recruit, or…)

“Time to” measures need:

  • a definition

  • a suitable name (Time to Fill/Hire/Recruit…)

  • a start date, and

  • an end date.

The start and end date need to be captured somewhere in your process in Recruit.

  1. What are you measuring - is time to hire, fill, recruit, or other?

  2. Where does that start and end in your process? It could start when the position vacancy is raised, submitted, approved or advertised. It could end when assessment is approved, the first offer is made, the first offer is accepted, when each offer is made or accepted (if each offer is measured individually) or when the first/each candidate starts in the vacancy. It depends on your organisation’s approach to this measure.

  3. How are these key events captured in your Recruit process? It completely depends on your process and configuration. They could be reflected by:

    • job created, opened, closed or archived dates

    • requisition is submission or completion

    • a particular step in the process started or completed

    • the first (or each) candidate arriving at or completing a particular assessment step

    • a particular job status being applied to the job

    • a particular application status applied to an application (or each application)

    • a date captured against the job for a specified custom global question

    • the earliest/each date captured against an application for a specified custom global question.

Exploring Your Dates

Why so many options for defining your data? SImply put, because you were able to design your recruitment process in any which way to suit your organisation’s practices and processes, it means that your key dates could be reflected in any number of ways. The View Demo report can help you understand what dates are captured where, and how to find/define them.

  • a specified date captured against a candidate (or each candidate), like the date of offer.

Diversity and Other Metrics

You will likely need to count how many applications fulfil certain criteria - not just how many were submitted (already built in). but also various diversity splits, or how many are current employees, how many reached each stage of your process, were made an offer, or accepted an offer.

You can always calculated these in each report, but defining these in the view means you have a consistent approach and don’t have to keep recreating your calculations.

Exploring Your Metrics

Applicant Demographics

Applicant Progress or Status

You probably have custom global questions on your application form in the format of:

  • APP_Gender

  • APP_ATSI or APP_Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander

  • APP_Disability

  • APP_Current Employee or APP_Current Employment Status.

The aim of each metric is to count how many applications gave certain answers to these questions, eg ‘Female’ or ‘Aboriginal’ or ‘Current Employee’.

Determine which questions and answers capture the data you need to measure.

Use the View Demo report outlined above to determine how applicant progress or status is defined in your process. It could be via:

  • A specified Application Status - History value (see Drill To: Application Status History)

  • Reaching or exiting a specified Assessment Step (see Drill To: Assessment Steps)

  • A specific custom global question that captures reaching a certain point or qualifying for a stage/outcome.

    • Eg - Suitable for Interview = ‘Approved’, Reached Merit Pool = 'Yes', Offer Outcome = 'Accept’

Other Fields

If you need other fields or custom filters added to your view, you can define and request these too. See Calculated Fields and Filters for more info.
