The Candidates in progress report helps you better understand the volume and distribution of candidates who are currently under consideration across ongoing hiring processes.

What you can do with this report

• Review the volume of in-progress candidates to understand the extent of ongoing hiring processes managed by the recruiting team

• Explore the various KPIs that highlight candidates in key stages in the pipeline, e.g., candidates awaiting a decision or candidates in the offer stage, to make sure that the hiring processes continue smoothly and without delay

• Review the start date of newly hired employees to maintain continuous communication and plan the necessary logistical and administrative preparations to ensure a successful onboarding process

• Slice the number of in-progress candidates by various criteria to explore ongoing hiring process data on a more granular level

• Examine the data at the candidate level to identify bottlenecks, e.g., candidates whose hiring process has been unusually long, and use the wealth of information to understand the reasons for the delay
