Advanced Primary Reports

A year ago we launched our Primary Reports to provide you with in-depth and thorough reporting across the ATS system. We now have over 50 reports, covering topics including Vacancies, Applicants and Candidates, and Time to Hire. You can run these reports on demand, or use a scheduler to run and email them to recipients at specified times. 

Our Implementation Specialists have been working to further utilise this functionality, and we are pleased to announce the following:

Advanced reporting capabilities

  • Incorporate 3 bespoke fields. 

    Currently available for Vacancy fields on all 3 new Primary Reports, and Cross-Application Questions in Applicants and Candidates > Advanced Application Report.

    We will also soon be adding the ability to add Offer Fields to the Time to Hire > Advanced Report.

  • Specify driving dates for a report.

    You are now able to specify the date parameter that influences the report, such as Vacancy Creation Date or Offer Date.

  • Define custom time to hire metrics.

    You are now able to define custom metrics in Time to Hire > Advanced Report.

  • Select standard fields.

    You can now select the standard fields for a report, for example, Counts in Vacancies > Advanced Vacancy Report, or Structure Level in Applicants and Candidates > Advanced Application Report.
