Metrics on the Postings dashboard

Metrics on the Postings dashboard are visualized in different types of charts. Below, you will find a description of each chart and how its metrics are calculated. Note that each metric listed is sensitive to the values in the filters above the dashboard. Also keep in mind that data associated with confidential job postings is excluded from the charts. You can export the data from any chart by hovering over the top-right corner, clicking the ⠇icon, and selecting Download data.

Filters can be be mixed-and-matched to hone in on specific data sets on any given dashboard. Once you have selected or input values to the filters, you must click the ⟳ button to apply the filters to the data on the dashboard. It may take a few seconds for the dashboard to refresh with your applied filters. For a more detailed description of how filters work in Visual Insights, refer to our help article on dashboard filters.

Note, the following charts on the Advanced page of the Posting dashboard are not affected by the date range filter. 

Opportunities not associated with a posting

This single KPI tile shows the count of active general opportunities. Use this chart to determine how many candidates in your pipeline have not yet been attached to a job posting.

Stale opportunities in postings table

This table shows all closed postings associated with opportunities that have yet to be archived, grouped by pipeline milestone (Lead & Applicant, Screen, Interview, and Offer - to learn about milestones, refer to our article on pipeline customization). Stale opportunities clutter your pipeline and skew other metrics such as time spent in stage.

To learn how, refer to our help article on drilling down into chart values.

Aging opportunities table

This table shows counts of all active opportunities owned by each opportunity owner in your Lever environment, as well as the average number of days since the last interaction across those opportunities.

Postings over 90 day table

This table shows all active (i.e. published or unlisted) postings that have not had any activity in the last 90 days. Aging postings can often be suppressed by job boards and aggregators that scrape your career site. Use this table to identify which postings are in need of a refresh, and then leverage the hyperlinked postings to open them in a new tab where you can duplicate and close the old posting and then published the new version. To learn more, refer to our article on managing evergreen postings.

Posting days since last active table
