Dashboard - Overview & FAQ's

What is the Home Page Dashboard in Jobvite ATS?

The Home Page Dashboard is an operational dashboard designed to help users manage their day-to-day recruiting activities. It is not an Analytics Dashboard. At its most basic level, the dashboard consists of a set of widgets, each of which helps the user monitor or take action on a specific recruiting activity. Examples of widgets include an All Interviews widget that displays interview schedules in calendar format or a My Referrals widget that shows the status of candidates who applied through employee referrals. Users are presented with a default set of widgets based on their roles, all laid out on a single page.
 

What are the widgets available in the Home Page Dashboard?

KPI Metrics widget:
NOTE: This widget is only available to recruiters and hiring managers.
This widget tracks your candidate pipeline over the last 30 days, filtered by source. The source of the applications is entirely configurable by the user (e.g., career site, job boards, employee referrals, etc.). By default, the dashboard comes pre-populated with two metric widgets: one to track applications from employee referrals and the other to track applications from all sources. The number of applications received over the last 30 days is also compared to the previous 30 days, and the widget visually highlights increases (or decreases). You can add up to 4 widgets of this kind to your dashboard.

My Open Requisitions widget:
NOTE: This widget is only available to recruiters and hiring managers.
This widget displays the counts and provides quick access to candidates at any stage of the hiring process. Information is only shown for requisitions that you are associated with. It is recommended to filter the widget's contents to help prioritize your recruiting activities. For example, you can set up your widgets as: "Seattle jobs", "Chicago jobs", and Referral applications across all your requisitions, etc. The available filters are listed below, along with the widgets themselves. You can add up to 4 widgets of this kind to your dashboard. NOTE: The Company field in the My Open Requisitions widget is tied to the Company field within a Requisition.

No, the dashboard for users is pre-populated based on their roles. They have complete control to change their default settings if they wish to do so.
 

Is the dashboard mobile-friendly?

​Yes, the entire dashboard layout adapts itself to a mobile format. Notably, some links that direct users away from the dashboard may lead to a page with a desktop layout. This is an area we will continue to address.
