Explore Datapeople's Confidence Gap Report

The Confidence Gap Report, an Actionable Insights report, identifies open jobs that are missing reporting structure or years of experience information, as well as jobs whose titles and requirements don't seem to match.


The Confidence Gap Report is your single source of truth when it comes to surfacing jobs that are missing key information or whose titles seem inflated, giving you and your team the intelligence you need to quickly and easily make changes where they will most impact the quality and diversity of your candidate pools. Read more about the confidence gap here.


Here you'll be able to see high-level metrics about:

  • Percentage of eligible open open jobs are missing reporting structure (i.e., who the candidate will report to)
  • Percentage of eligible open jobs have confusing seniority in the title (i.e., the title listed is more senior than the requirements suggest)
  • Percentage of eligible open jobs are missing years of experience
  • Customers that are integrated with an ATS will also be able to see the name(s) of the recruiter(s) assigned to that job in the "Recruiters" column

The report allows you to:

  • Go directly to any job in this list simply by clicking its title (the job will open in a new tab)
  • Sort by issue type
  • Easily share these jobs with the assigned team members for remediation
    • Select the job(s) using the check boxes
    • Click the purple Share button at the top right of the jobs list
    • Select a user to share the job(s) with and add an optional message. The selected user(s) will receive an email linking directly to the selected job(s):

How to update a job:

Since these are published jobs (not drafts), once you've made the necessary updates, you'll need to re-publish the job posting in one of the following ways:

1. For ATS-integrated customers: Go to the job in Datapeople, hover over the "Job" menu at the top left, and select "Open in [your ATS]." Make the necessary adjustments, then republish the job from your ATS.

Open in ATS

2. For customers using Datapeople Anywhere (our browser extension): Using the same "Job" menu, select "Duplicate" to create a new Draft of the job. Make the necessary changes, then use Datapeople Anywhere to drop that new content into the existing job within your ATS.

3. For non ATS-integrated customers: Find the job in your ATS by searching for its title or Req ID, make the necessary changes, and republish.

More things to know about the Confidence Gap Report:

  1. It's updated in real time: Unlike some of our other reports that require pulling information from your ATS, the Confidence Gap Report is based on the content of the job description alone. This means once a job has been updated to include the missing content, it will be removed from this list. 
  2. It includes only published jobs: Since your draft jobs will naturally be missing some content at times--they're works in progress, after all--the only jobs surfaced in the Confidence Gap Report are those that are out in the world and visible to job seekers. 
  3. It identifies only relevant jobs: Some types of jobs--like junior-level or internship roles--don't need to list years of experience, so these jobs aren't surfaced in this report.
  4. It's sortable: Jobs in the report are sorted by "Most Issues First" by default. Use the button at the top right to change this to Newest First, or to sort by issue type (years of experience, confusing seniority, or reporting structure).
  5. It's downloadable! To download the Confidence Gap Report into a CSV file, click the ".csv" button at the top right:
