Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to introduce the new Hiring Overview dashboard. This page serves as the central hub for all hiring activities, offering clients a visual representation of their applicant data. To ensure optimal functionality, specific macros must be utilized. These macros facilitate the accurate transfer of application information to the appropriate graphs and charts on the dashboard, enhancing the user's experience and decision-making capabilities.
A. Problem statement
Many HR professionals face challenges in obtaining a clear and immediate understanding of their hiring activities, struggling with inefficient systems that do not provide real-time, easy-to-access data, which can lead to delayed decision-making and suboptimal recruitment strategies.
B. Solution
The Hiring Overview dashboard, accessible via the Hiring tab in SCView, addresses these issues by providing instant access to a range of visual analytics. Two enhanced charts, Openings by Department and Applicant Diversity, offer clickable segments that detail specific hiring metrics and candidate information, enriched further by the inclusion of licensure macros for direct job application access.
Step 1:
Access the new Hiring Overview dashboard easily by navigating to Tools > Hiring. Upon opening the Hiring page, you will be greeted immediately by the dashboard, providing a direct and efficient entry point to all your hiring analytics.
Step 2:
The various charts displayed on this page are crafted to enhance your comprehension of hiring analytics. They provide insightful breakdowns from the total number of applicants to the diversity within the candidate pool, and the details of current job postings, ensuring a comprehensive view of your recruitment landscape.
Step 3: Chart Popups
Two interactive charts, Openings by Department and Applicant Diversity, have been enhanced to provide more detailed information through clickable segments. By selecting a section within the Openings by Department chart, users can view specific data such as the available job openings in that department, the types of applicants, and the total number of applications submitted. Clicking on a segment of the Applicant Diversity chart reveals comprehensive details including the applicant's full name, the position applied for, and the application date. Moreover, this chart displays a summary at the top, presenting the breakdown of male and female applicants. Please note, accuracy of this data is contingent upon users correctly selecting the relevant fields during the application process.
Step 4: Linked to Jobs Tab
You can click the Job Title in the chart on the right. This will take you directly to that job application page under the Jobs tab.
Step 5:
Rest assured, the dashboard is designed to update automatically, thanks to pre-configured macros provided by our Support team, as long as you have the Hiring module activated. It will refresh promptly when you create a new job posting or when a candidate applies for a position, ensuring you always have the latest information at your fingertips.
