Viewing Recruiting Insights

Recruiters and recruiting managers can use the Recruiting Insights dashboards to view and analyze the job openings and job applications. Based on the user privileges and criteria, the recruiting administrators can gain insights into the recruiter data.

The Recruiting Insights dashboards are built on the PeopleSoft Insights platform, which relies on an underlying analytics engine and search engine. Recruiting data that is visible on the dashboard comes from the recruiting search indexes.

These videos provide an overview of the PeopleSoft Insights feature:

For more information about the Deploy Insights Dashboards page, see PeopleTools Search Technology: “Working with Insights Dashboards for PeopleSoft Application Data”, Managing a Delivered Dashboard.

The field From Application Date in Build Search Index Settings page is used to configure defaults for Recruitment Indexes used in Recruiter and Recruiter Admin Dashboards.

For example, if you select the value Last 6 months, all applications updated in last six months are indexed.

Selecting ALL for From Application Date will index all applications. However, selecting this option may cause performance issues in the Recruitment Indexes. It is recommended not to use ALL for From Application Date if the volume of total applications is high (more than a million). But, if total number of applications in customer environment is less then ALL option can be used.

By default, this field is set as Last 6 months.

Delivered Application Details Visualizations

The Application Details dashboard provides this collection of visualizations:

Visualization

Description

Applications by State

The Applications by State visualization shows the region map or the geographical distribution of applications on an interactive map. This shows the states where the applicants reside.

You can use the Applications by State view to filter the data based on a state. For example if you click on California State, then the visualization in the other charts show the data only from applicants residing in California State.

By default, the country filter is set to USA for Application by State visualization. To change the default view to a different country, the visualization needs to be modified and the corresponding filter needs to be added.

Applications by City

The Applications by City visualization shows a vertical bar graph of the number of applicants from each city.

You can click on a city to filter the visualization for that city only. For example if we click on San Ramon, the rest of the charts show the data only from applications residing in San Ramon.

Applications – External vs Internal

The Applications – External vs internal line graph shows a trend comparison between the number of applications received from external candidates compared to internal candidates over a period of time.

Click on either of the line to filter the applications based on external applications or Internal applications. For example, if we click on the External graph, then the rest of the visualizations show the corresponding visualization of only external applicants

Application – Competencies/Skills

The Application – Competencies/Skills shows an interactive tag cloud visualization of the competencies and skills mentioned by the applicants. This tag cloud helps users to understand the more common or frequently mentioned competencies and skills across applications.

Click on a word in the tag cloud visualization to filter only those applications that has a mention of that competency or skill. The other visualizations automatically show details of applications that contain the filtered competency or skill. For example, if you click on English, the visualization shows details of applicants that have this skill mentioned in their application.

Applicants

The Applicants section lists out all the applicants and their details in tabular form. You can find the detail of a particular applicant under the manage Applicant column.

Click the Detail link against an Applicant in the Manage applicant column to open the Applicant details in the Manage Applicant page.

Use the Recruiter Pipeline tile to access the Insights visualizations related to job openings based on your row level security.

Active Recruitment Pipeline

This group of visualizations helps the Recruiter to view and manage their open backlog. These visualizations are independent of the selected date range.

It includes:

  • Metrics Visualizations

  • In Process Applications Visualization

  • Applications by Job Openings Visualization

  • Applications List

Note: The visualizations grouped under Active Recruitment Pipeline are not dependent on the selected date range. This allows all jobs that are open to be available for review.

Metrics Visualizations

Metric visualization displays the count of:

  • Open Jobs: Count of open jobs (posted as well as non-posted) associated with the Recruiter.

  • Applied Jobs: Count of applicants in the applied phase associated with the Recruiter.

  • Interview: Count of applicants in the interview phase associated with the Recruiter.

  • Offer: Count of applicants in the offer phase associated with the Recruiter.

  • Ready to Hire: Count of applicants in the ready to hire status associated with the Recruiter.

By default, these metrics display both applications tied to a job opening and applied without a job. Use the Application Type filter to filter as needed.

Click on each metric value to add corresponding filters to the dashboard.

This example illustrates the Metric Visualizations.

Applications List Grid

Application List displays all the job openings, applications received, and their details in tabular form, based on the applied filter. The recruiter can transfer directly to the Application page or the Job Opening page.

This example illustrates the Applications List Visualization.

Applications List Visualization

Total Applications by Job Postings Visualization

This visualization helps the recruiter to view and analyze the applications based on total applications and days since the job was first posted. This is helpful in reviewing jobs that do not have any applications.

This example illustrates the Total Applications by Job Postings Visualization.

Total Applications by Job Postings Visualization

You can use the slider to filter the data based on the number of Total Applications received and Days Since Job Posted. The range of the slider is set according to minimum and maximum applications associated with job postings. The extreme values in the sliders for Total Applications and Days Since Job Posted are determined by the data present in applications. For example, if minimum value for Total Applications associated with a job is 0 and maximum value is 16 then 0 and 16 will be set as the extreme values for slider.

Once applied, the Posted Jobs List grid displays the associated job openings, and other details, based on the selected range of job applications. If the job opening has a close date, the grid will show the number of days left until it is closed.

Recruitment Metrics

This group of visualizations helps the Recruiter visualize historical data based on the selected date range for both open and closed jobs to understand recruitment trends.

Note: Please review your organization’s policy on Recruiters having access to Veteran Data. Each organization may be different.

Veteran Applications Visualizations

Veteran’s data on the Recruiter Pipeline is represented by three visualizations:
