What is Recruitment Reporting?
Recruitment reporting is the practice of measuring and analyzing hiring activity, using metrics like time-to-fill, source of hire, and pipeline volume to evaluate how well the hiring process is working.
Why does Recruitment Reporting matter?
Without reporting, recruiting decisions get made on gut feel; with it, recruiters and leadership can see exactly where the process is working and where it is losing candidates or time.
How does Recruitment Reporting work?
An ATS logs every stage change for every candidate and requisition, then aggregates that data into reports covering metrics like time-to-fill, source effectiveness, and recruiter productivity, usually viewable by role, department, or time period.
