Charts on the Requisitions dashboard

Metrics on the Requisitions 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.

Requisitions

The Requisitions page contains charts that provide you with insight into your organization's progress toward filling open headcount and closing requisitions.

KPI tiles

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

KPI tiles on the Requisitions page of the Requisitions dashboard

Open requisitions	The count of open requisitions as of the end of the date range.
Open headcount	The count of open headcount across all open requisitions, calculated as:   [Total headcount across open requisitions as of the end of the date range] minus [Total # of opportunities archived as 'Hired' against open requisitions as of the end of the date range]     Requisitions with infinite headcount are excluded from this calculation.
Closed requisitions	The count of requisitions manually closed and/or filled within the date range. Requisitions are counted more than once if closed and/or filled multiple times within the date range.
Avg. time to fill	The calculation used to generate this metric is controlled by the 'Time to Fill' wizard in your Visual Insights Settings. To learn more, refer to our help article on configuring the time to fill calculation. By default, the average number of days it takes to close/fill a requisition, calculated as:   [Sum of time to fill for all requisitions closed within the date range]     [Total # of requisitions closed within the date range]     Time to fill is determined by the start and end points configured in the Time to Fill Wizard in your Visual Insights Settings. By default, time to fill is measured using the date a requisition was created as the start point and the latest date that requisition was closed as the end point. To learn about different ways to configure the time to fill calculation, refer to our help article on the Time to Fill Wizard.  Note that requisitions created before the date range are included in the calculation, and the time measured from the point of requisition creation includes any time the requisition spent pending approval.
Avg. time to first hire	The average number of days to make a first hire against a requisition, calculated as:   [Sum of days between requisition creation and first hire within the date range]     [Total # of requisitions created and first hires within the date range]     The operator 'and' is used inclusively in this calculation, meaning requisition creation and first hire both must have occurred within the date range. Note that the time measured from the point of requisition creation includes any time the requisition spent pending approval.

Requisitions by status

This chart provides you a breakdown of requisitions based on their status so you can monitor for an even balance of open, paused, and fulfilled headcount.

Chart type	Bar chart
Data set	Requisitions in existence as of end of date range
Grouped by	Status as of end of date range Requisitions are counted as 'Closed' if they are closed after the start of the date range

Average time to fill over time

This chart shows how the average number of days it takes for your team to fill the headcount for a requisition has changed over time, overlaid on the number of requisitions filled in the corresponding timeframe. Note that this chart is affected by how the time to fill calculation has been configured for your Lever environment. To learn more, refer to our help article on configuring time to fill.

Primary grouping	Status (Draft, Pending, On Hold, Rejected, Open, or Closed)
Secondary grouping	Date interval (week or month as per Date interval filter)
Unit of measure	Count

Unfilled headcount status summary

This chart is shows the distribution of unfilled headcount based on requisition status across different groupings such as owner, team, or posting.

Chart type	Stacked bar chart
Data set	Unfilled headcount for requisitions in existence as of end of date range Requisitions with infinite headcount are excluded from this dataset
Primary grouping	Parameter in Headcount grouped by filter (to a maximum of 25 groupings) Top 25 primary groupings based on requisition volume. Primary groupings outside of the top 25 can be revealed by applying additional filters.
Secondary grouping	Status as of end of date range Headcount status shown is the status as of the end of the date range. Requisitions closed manually after the start of the filtered date range are included. Requisitions closed automatically due to being filled prior to the end of the date range are excluded.
Unit of measure	Count
Revealed on hover	Primary group, requisition status and count Although the visualization will only reflect requisitions with unfilled headcount, drill down tables of this chart will also include closed requisitions for which headcount has been filled.

 

All requisitions

A table containing details on all requisitions can also be found at the bottom of the Requisitions page, showing details of all requisitions open as of the the start of the date range, consisting of:

• Requisition

Advanced

The Advanced page contains charts that show periodic comparisons of your hiring performance, as well as additional insights into pipeline volume, pipeline velocity, time to fill, and requisition approval speed.

KPI tiles

These metrics can be found in the tiles arranged at the top of the Advanced page. Note that since these tiles contain metrics related to a fixed period over period analysis (the most recently completed period compared to the prior period), they are unaffected by the date range filter.

KPI tiles on the Advanced page of the Requisitions dashboard

Hired this completed month	The count of hires for the most recently completed month compared to the previous month.
