ATS Filters

Filters are a powerful tool which allow you to quickly and efficiently generate tailored views of your data for individual use cases. Some filters are used by Datapeople to organize your requisitions and job posts in the platform accurately (such as Posting Type for identifying “Internal” vs. “External” job posts). Other filters are listed in the filter bar as available options to create a sub-sample of the data displayed on the page, such as Location. Filters allow you to instantly customize reports to suit your needs and seamlessly create specialized views of your data to inform key performance metrics and decision making.

How are my ATS fields translated into Datapeople filters?

Filters powered by ATS fields provided to Datapeople through your integration are a direct reflection of the data entered in your ATS. Datapeople does not transform or alter data behind an ATS-based filter. This ensures Datapeople Libraries and Insights reports are consistent with the information residing in your ATS.

What ATS-based filters are available to me?

When you’re filtering jobs in Datapeople, you’ll see two types of ATS filters: Standard and Custom. They’re displayed differently in the app because of how they’re set up in your ATS.

Standard ATS Filters

These appear directly in the Filters side panel in Datapeople. They include common fields your ATS requires you to fill out when you generate a job requisition.

This example shows SmartRecruiter's standard filters which includes fields such as EEO Category, Experience Level, Function, Industry, and Type of Employment.

Custom ATS Filters

Custom fields are handled a little differently: Custom filters don’t appear in the Filters side panel. Instead, if you have any Custom Fields enabled, the Custom Fields button will show. Clicking it opens a modal with the available custom filters.

These are often information your team requires you to include in the req generation process. They include things like:

Requisition type (backfill, evergreen, new role)
Hiring initiative flags
Approval stages or business priority
Cost Centers

Your Datapeople Platform admins decide which custom fields are enabled in Datapeople.

Note: Datapeople Admins can enable or disable them in the Settings Menu.

Please contact your Customer Success representative for questions regarding Custom Filters available for your ATS.
