- Classic Recruiter Experience -
The Candidate Snapshot chart provides a percentage and count of the current candidates in each status at any given time. Meanwhile the Candidate Pipeline chart provides a count of candidates that have ever been and are currently under each status.
In summary, the Candidate Snapshot gives you "real-time" data, while the Candidate Pipeline chart gives you "historical" data.
Note: The Candidate Snapshot and Candidate Pipeline chart don’t count the declined status.
Example
- Candidate Snapshot now displays nine candidates under New and one candidate under Second Round Interview, because it displays candidates currently under each status.
- Candidate Pipeline still displays ten candidates under New and now displays one candidate under Second Round Interview. This chart retains that the candidate was once under New, and also counts that they have been moved to Second Round Interview.
Auto Declined Candidates Are Recorded in the Candidate Pipeline Chart
When a candidate is automatically declined as a result of their answer to a "knock-out" question in the job application, their status is Declined as soon as they are added to the Candidates tab of the job requisition. However, they will still be counted under the New status in the historical Candidate Pipeline chart. This is because all candidates are assigned the New status when they apply for a job, even if they are auto-declined.
