Your Dashboard

Your dashboard is the landing page that you see when you access Recruiting. It summarizes recruiting activities that you own, or for which you're a collaborator.

The dashboard is organized in these areas:

Candidates
Job Requisitions
Offers
Tasks

For each item in an area, you can see the number of items requiring your attention and the total number of items.

Number of items requiring your attention: This is the number displayed under the red flag column. It represents the number of items that are new or have been updated by another user since you last viewed them. For example, when a requisition you own is approved by some other user, a new task is added to your Ready for sourcing tasks, the number for the Ready for sourcing task element increases by one, and this tag is displayed on the list with a red flag.
Total: This is the total number of items including new, previously viewed, and updated items. If you click the number, you're brought to the page where you can see the resulting list of items on which you can take action. For example, if you click the total number of ACE candidates in the Candidates area, you're brought to the Submissions list which displays ACE candidates.

You can use the Refresh All button to update all the items with the latest numbers.
