Pages on the Offers dashboard
Metrics on the Offers dashboard are visualized in different types of charts. Below, you will find a description of each page as well as the charts they contains and how the metrics on each chart 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 β 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 β³ 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.

The Offers page requires that you have an input in the Offer status grouped by filter at all times. This filter only affects the Offers status summary chart. |
The Offers page contains charts that show the volume, status, and efficacy of offers in your Lever environment. Use the charts on this page to ensure that offers are being generated and accepted at rates that align with your organization's recruitment objectives.
Single value charts
These metrics can be found in the tiles arranged along the top of the Offers page.
Single value charts on the Offers page
| Offers accepted | The count of accepted offers sent within the date range. | ||||||
| Offer acceptance | The percentage of offers accepted relative to the total number of offers sent within the date range. Offer acceptance can take place within or after the date range. | ||||||
| Avg. revisions per offer |
The average number of revisions made to offers extended within the date range, calculated as:
A "revision" is defined as any saved change to the value(s) in the Offer details fields after an offer has been sent. For example, changing the compensation amount and expiry date on an offer and re-sending that offer would be counted as a single revision. To learn more, refer to our help article on offer revisions. |
||||||
| Avg. time to accept |
The average number of days between the first offer extended and acceptance of the offer, calculated as:
Offers extended before the date range are included in this calculation. Offer acceptance occurs at the time an offer is marked as signed by the candidate. |
Offers accepted and sent
A large difference between the numbers of offers accepted and sent indicates that a considerable amount of offers are being declined and/or are pending. Use the 'Offer status grouped by' filter to pivot data on the 'Offer status summary' chart by department, recruiter, and origin to better understand if challenges related to offer performance are organization-wide or limited in scope. A small difference between the numbers of offers accepted and sent could indicate that your organization's compensation strategy is generous. Be sure view this metric in conjunction with offer acceptance rate and number of offers pending for appropriate context.
Offers pending outcome
A large number of outstanding offers could be indicative of candidate hesitancy or a process breakdown (e.g. delays in processing offers that are sent manually). Drill down into this metric to see exactly which offers are pending and by whom they have been sent. If the volume of pending offers is equally distributed across departments and recruiters, consider implementing a general change in process such as installing an offer deadline after which offers are rescinded. If pending offers are localized to specific individuals or teams, consider implementing targeted enablement with recruiters and hiring managers that have the largest number of offers in limbo.
Offer acceptance
Offers that are pending a decision from the candidate are factored out of this calculation, giving you an exact measure of your organization's offer performance. To diagnose decreases in offer acceptance, navigate to the 'Offers by status' chart and drill down into declined offers. If you find that you are lacking necessary context to understand why candidates are declining offers, consider adding a 'Withdrew or Declined' form to your system that recruiters can use to document the circumstance under which candidates decline, have an offer rescinded, or pull out of the hiring process for any other reason. The data in this form can be later exported and manually reported upon.
Average revisions per offer & Average time to accept
Taken together, these metrics can shed light on where your offer process may be slowing down the overall candidate experience. Frequent offer revisions can inflate the amount of time offers spend in a pending state, which in turn can drive up the average time to accept offers.
Offers by status
This chart shows you the volume and status of existing offers within in a given period of time.
| Chart type | Bar chart |
| Data set | Offers as of end of date range |
| Grouped by | Status (Started, Approved, Sent, Declined, or Signed)1 |
| Unit of measure | Count |
| Revealed on hover | Status and offer count |
|
|
Filter the dashboard by department and posting owner and then use this chart to drill down into localized or organization-level trends, such as approved offers that have yet to be sent and stalled offers in the 'Started' bucket. You can also use this chart to further diagnose decreases in pipeline velocity. For example, you can apply the same filters on the Pipeline dashboard see if time to hire and the time spent in stage metrics correlate with slow and stale offers.
Offer events over time
This chart can be used to gauge offer velocity by reviewing the distribution of offer activity over a given period of time
| Chart type | Stacked column chart |
| Data set | Offers events that occurred within the date range1 |
| Grouped by | Date interval (week or month, as per Date interval filter) |
| Unit of measure | Count |
| Revealed on hover | Date interval, status, and offer count |
|
|
Offer acceptance over time
This chart provides you with insight into your degree of offer effectiveness by allowing you to view the volume of offers sent over a give period of time relative to the rate of acceptance.
| Chart type | Column and line chart |
| Primary data set | Offers sent within the date range |
| Secondary data set | Offers sent within the date range that were later accepted1 |
| Grouped by | Date interval (week or month, as per Date interval filter) |
| Unit of measure | Count (Offers sent) and percentage (acceptance rate) |
| Revealed on hover | Date interval and offer count or acceptance rate |
|
|
Use the offer events and offer acceptance over time charts to assess for short-term pressures and long-term seasonality in offer activity. Once you have identified seasonal trends, you can prepare your organization accordingly. For example, periods in which there are high concentrations of offers pending approval could correlate with seasons in which approvers have limited bandwidth. You can proactively modify your offer approval workflows by incorporating dynamics approvers so offers do not stall in the pipeline. In periods in which there are high concentrations of declined offers, compare the reasons for which offers are declined to see if they are historically consistent. If the reasons for decline deviate from the historical distribution, consider conducting research into changes made by your competitors.
Offer status summary
This chart allows you to compare the volume and efficacy of offers broken down by groupings such as posting owners, teams, and sources.
| Chart type | Stacked bar chart |
| Primary data set | Offers as of end of date range |
| Primary grouping | Parameter in Offers status grouped by filter |
| Secondary grouping | Status (Started, Approved, Sent, Declined, or Signed)1 |
| Unit of measure | Count |
| Revealed on hover | Primary group, status, and offer count |
|
|
Take advantage of the 'Offer status grouped by' filter to compare offer activity and performance across key business areas. Pivot this chart by source or origin to determine which channels are yielding the largest volume of signed candidates. Pivot by department, postings, and posting owner to determine where your recruitment team is spending their time and identify potential process issues. Ensure that your hiring team is equipped handle postings that see a high volume of offers. Conduct targeted training on how to process offers with posting owners and approvers in order to prevent offers from spending large amounts of time waiting to be sent and/or approved.
