Concept: Candidates by Active Stage

Concept: Candidates by Active Stage

The
Candidates by Active Stage
analytic displays these statistics for each active stage of the recruiting process:
  • Number of active candidates.
  • Percent of dispositioned candidates.
  • Percent of candidates that moved to another stage.
You can view this analytic on the:
  • Overview
    profile group on the job requisition profile.
  • Job requisition, by selecting
    Active Candidates
    . This option only displays if 1 or more candidates applied to the job requisition.
The
Active Candidates
report is Workday-defined and only available on mobile. It returns candidates for job requisitions in all recruiting stages, except
Ready for Hire
and
Disposition
stages. It only returns results for a job requisition if the user is in a:
  • Primary recruiter role.
  • Leadership role other than a recruiter role.
  • Recruiter role when no primary recruiter role exists.

Candidate Lists

When you select a default grid on the
Maintain Candidate List Assignment
task, you can take action on candidates from the
Candidates by Active Stage
analytic.
Workday recommends that you assign
Job Requisition Default
as the default candidate list grid. Assigning a default grid permanently replaces the Workday-delivered grid.

Example
