Navigating to the Candidates Report
1. Go to Reports in the left navigation.
2. Click Candidates in the left sidebar.
Reading the Scorecards
• Hiring Sources — The total number of distinct sourcing channels contributing candidates to your pipeline.
• Total Candidates — Total number of candidates across all sources within the selected period.
• Hire Rate % — The percentage of all candidates who were successfully hired. Calculated as Total Hires ÷ Total Candidates × 100.
Reading the Source Performance Table
The Source Performance table gives you a direct comparison of every sourcing channel's output. Each row is one source.
• Source Name — The name of the sourcing channel (Career Site, Added Manually, Referred by Employee, etc.).
• Hired — The number of candidates from this source who were successfully hired.
• Disqualified — The number of candidates from this source who were disqualified.
💡 Tip: Pair this table with the Disqualified by Source chart in the Disqualification report for the fullest picture. The Candidates report shows absolute numbers. The Disqualification report shows proportional drop-off. Together, they tell you which channels are worth investing in. |
📌 Note: If a source shows zero Hired and zero Disqualified, it may be a channel that's generating applications still in the pipeline — or one where applications were added but no action has been taken. Filter by Date to confirm. |
