Reports are a powerful tool in Recruiterflow designed to give you detailed insights into the progression of your business.
However, you might find the number of stage movements in a job pipeline usually higher than the number of candidates. Here's why this is happening:
Understanding Stage Movements and Candidates
In the Report, you will notice two key metrics:
Movements: This refers to the total number of times candidates have been moved from one stage to another in the job pipeline within the selected time frame.
Candidates: This is the count of unique candidates who have been moved through any stages in the selected time frame.
Why the Numbers Differ
It’s common to see the number of stage movements being higher than the number of candidates. This is because a single candidate can move through multiple stages.
Example Scenario
To illustrate, let’s consider an example:
Candidate A: Applied -> Screening -> Interview -> Offered
Candidate B: Applied -> Screening -> Rejected
Candidate C: Applied -> Screening -> Interview
In this scenario:
Number of Stage Movements: 9 (Candidate A moved through 4 stages, Candidate B through 3, and Candidate C through 2)
Number of Candidates: 3 (Candidate A, B, and C)
Hope this explains why the numbers differ for stage movement and candidates.
