# Candidate Activity Report

Track real-time hiring activity across jobs and date ranges.

### **Overview**

The **Candidate Activity Report** in Discovered gives you detailed, up-to-date insights into how candidates are moving through your hiring process. Unlike weekly summary emails, this report allows you to explore **custom date ranges**, **multiple jobs at once**, and **specific activity types**—all from a single view.

This report is especially useful for understanding application volume, assessment progress, interview completion, and reference check activity in greater detail.

## **How to access Candidate Activity Reports:**

### **1\. Access the Candidate Activity Report**

-   Navigate to **Reports** in the top navigation bar.
-   Select **Candidate Activity** from the list of available reports.

### **2\. Configure Your View**

Customize the report to match what you want to analyze:

-   **Date Range:** Choose specific timeframes to see more current or historical activity.
-   **Jobs:** View activity across all jobs or filter by specific job postings.
-   **Activity Types:** Review metrics such as:
    -   New applicants
    -   Assessments assigned and completed
    -   One-way interviews completed
    -   Reference checks initiated and completed

### **3\. Review Completion Metrics**

The report highlights completion percentages for key evaluation steps, including:

-   Assessments
-   One-way interviews
-   Reference checks

You can also break results down by **specific assessments** to see how candidates are performing and progressing.

## **Tracking Interview Attendance**

The Candidate Activity Report does not currently provide a single view that automatically separates candidates into **Scheduled**, **Attended**, and **No-Show** interview totals.

If your team needs to track interview no-shows, use a consistent candidate status or rejection category such as **No Show – Interview** and update candidates after the scheduled interview.

You can then use your candidate pipeline and reporting tools to review those outcomes over time.

## **Why This Matters:**

The Candidate Activity Report provides deeper visibility than automated weekly reports by letting you:

-   Analyze performance across multiple jobs simultaneously
-   Track progress in real time instead of waiting for scheduled summaries
-   Identify drop-offs or bottlenecks in assessments, interviews, or references

This helps teams make faster, data-informed decisions and optimize their hiring workflows.

## **Use Cases:**

-   **Recruiters:** Monitor applicant flow and evaluation completion rates across active roles.
-   **Hiring Managers:** Understand where candidates are in the process and how engaged they are.
-   **Teams:** Use alongside the weekly Roundup email for a complete view of hiring activity.

## **Best Practices:**

-   Use shorter date ranges for real-time insights and troubleshooting.
-   Review completion percentages to identify friction in assessments or interviews.
-   Combine this report with automated email summaries for both high-level and detailed tracking.

## **What Happens Next:**

Once you’re familiar with the Candidate Activity Report:

-   Use it regularly to supplement weekly reports.
-   Adjust workflows or communication strategies based on completion trends
-   Share insights with stakeholders to align on hiring progress

The Candidate Activity Report gives you a clearer, more flexible view of your hiring activity—helping you stay proactive and informed throughout the recruiting process.
