Charts on the Pipeline dashboard

Metrics on the Pipeline 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.

Pipeline

The Pipeline page contains charts that provide you with insight the overall health of your pipeline in terms of candidate volume and pipeline speed.

KPI tiles

These metrics can be found in the tiles arranged at the top of the Pipeline page. 

KPI tiles on the Pipeline dashboard

Opportunities created	The count of opportunities created within the date range.
Opportunities advanced	The count of distinct opportunities that moved forward in the pipeline within the date range. Opportunities advanced multiple times within the date range are only counted once.
Avg. time in pipeline	The average number of days opportunities spend in the pipeline, calculated as:   [Total # of days in pipeline spent by active opportunities within in the date range]     [Total # of opportunities active in the pipeline within the date range]
Average time to hire	The average number of days it takes to hire an opportunity, calculated as:   [Sum of time to hire for all opportunities hired within the date range]     [Total # of opportunities hired within the date range]     Time to hire is determined by the start and end points configured in the Time to Hire Wizard in your Visual Insights Settings. By default, time to hire is measured using the date an opportunity was created as the start point and the date that opportunity was archived as 'Hired' as the end point. To learn about different ways to configure the time to hire calculation, refer to our help article on the Time to Hire Wizard.
Opportunities hired	The count of opportunities archived as 'Hired' within the date range.
Opportunities archived	The count of opportunities archived within the date range, excluding those archived as 'Hired.'

'How do my opportunities move through the pipeline?' chart

This table shows the conversion rates for advanced, archived, hired, and regressed movements in the pipeline. Each row in the table corresponds to a stage. Each column pair shows the percentage of distinct opportunities that were advanced, archived, hired, or regressed from that stage as well as the number of movements making up that percentage. Click to drill down into the chart values in order to view details about the cohorts of candidates that underwent different types of movement throughout the pipeline.

Pipeline opportunity volume

This chart shows the pipeline distribution of new, active, and historical opportunities during the date range, broken down by stage:

• Opportunities count toward a stage's 'New opportunity' count if they if were created during the date range and entered that stage during the date range.
• Opportunities count towards a stage's 'Active opportunity' count if they were created before or during the date range, entered that stage within the date range, and were not archived before the end of the date range.
• Opportunities count towards a stage's 'Historical opportunity' count  if they were created before or during the date range, entered that stage within the date range, and were archived before the end of the date range.

Use this chart to assess how much of your overall pipeline volume is made up of recently created candidates.

Archived opportunities breakout

This table shows the percent and count of archived opportunities by archive reason and stage. Opportunities are counted if archived within the date range. Use this table to understand where and why candidates are being archived throughout your pipeline.

Conversion of advanced movements

This table shows the conversion rates from and to stages for advanced movements in the pipeline. Pipeline movements are counted if they occurred within the date range. Use this table to identify which of your recruitment/interview processes may be in need of optimization, based on the forward conversion rates of the stages at which they occur.

Conversion of moved back movements

This table shows the conversion rates from and to stages for moved back movements in the pipeline. Pipeline movements are counted if they occurred within the date range. Use this table to locate points in your talent funnel where candidates are being regressed in their recruitment journey. Process that take place at stages with a high percentage of regressed movements may be in need of recalibration.
