Why does my count of Hired Candidates differ in the Hiring Report?

Some hiring metrics, like the count of Hires, that are shown in multiple Datapeople reports may show different outcomes because the Hiring Report uses a different data point for its date filter.

By Offer Resolution Date (Hiring Report)

The Executive Insights widgets that are filtered by candidate offer resolution date are:

For example, in Figures 1 and 2 (in the next section) we look at Q1 of 2023:

• Your Hiring Report would include any candidate who resolved (accepted/declined/rescinded) an offer between 1/1/23 and 3/31/23, so the number of hires in the Hiring Report would be the number of candidates who accepted an offer in the date range.
• In this case, two candidates would be included: Candidate D and Candidate E.

By Candidate Application Date

For all reports except the Hiring Report (and all widgets in Executive Insights that point to reports other than the Hiring Report), Datapeople reports use the date filter to filter your data by candidate application date.

The reports are showing you data for all candidates who applied in the selected date range.

These are not a point-in-time reports (ie. How many interviews did we give in this time frame, how many hires did we make in this time frame?).

These are funnel reports (ie. Of all candidates who applied in this timeframe, how many were screened, were interviewed, were hired...)

Again, let's look at Q1 of 2023:

• Your Pass-Through Report would include any candidate who applied between 1/1/23 and 3/31/23, so the number of hires in the Pass-Through Report would be the number of candidates who applied in the date range who eventually got hired.
• In this case, one candidate would be included: Candidate B (Figure 2).
