Filters

Filters are a powerful tool that lets you quickly and efficiently generate tailored views of your data for specific use cases. JobNav Recruiter uses some filters to organize your requisitions and job posts accurately (such as Posting Type to identify “Internal” vs. “External” job posts). Other filters appear in the filter bar as options to create a sub-sample of the data displayed on the page, such as Location. Filters let you instantly customize reports to suit your needs and create specialized views of your data to inform key performance metrics and decision-making. 

Filters organize, segment, and group jobs based on common attributes. You can apply filters in both the Library and Insights, and they appear in the left-side panel. In the Library, you can use filters to narrow job postings for review and editing. Filters in Insights help focus reports on specific attributes to analyze and benchmark job req performance.

What kinds of information can filters provide?

Filtering reports helps generate meaningful findings by focusing on subsets of data relevant to specific use cases or business questions. This customization lets users select data attributes relevant to their needs, reducing extraneous information that may obscure or distort underlying patterns or trends. Filtering lets users explore data from different perspectives and generate insights from particular data segments that might otherwise be unavailable.

Where do filters come from?

General Filters

A few filters are available to all JobNav Recruiter customers in all libraries and reports.

• My Jobs
  • Account Type
    • For non-integrated accounts, My Jobs filters to jobs the user has made at least one edit to.
    • For ATS-integrated accounts, My Jobs filters to jobs that the user has made at least one edit to or jobs they are on the hiring team for.
  • Access Level
    • This filter allows Admin users to view either all items or filter to view their jobs.
    • For Non-Admin users, this filter is permanently set to ON, and all libraries and reports will automatically be filtered to show only their jobs.
• Location
  • Location information is taken from the location field on the job post. 
  • This may have been entered when a new post was created in JobNav Recruiter or, for ATS-integrated accounts, may come from the post location in your ATS for synced jobs.

• Users

  • For non-integrated accounts, any user who has made at least one edit on a job will be included as a User for that job post.

    For integrated accounts, any person who is included in the hiring team for the job post’s requisition in your ATS will be included as a User for that job post.

• JobNav Score
  • All users can filter job post libraries by JobNav score.

Additional General Filters for Integrated Accounts

If JobNav Recruiter is integrated with your ATS, you will have a few more general filters available to you:

• Department
  • determined by the department of the requisition that the job post belongs to
• Posting Type
  • determined by whether the job post is listed on any external job board (External) or not (Internal)

General Filters in Applicant Insights Reports

If JobNav Recruiter is integrated with your ATS and you have access to the Requisition Libraries, Requisition Progress Reports and Process and Source Insights, you may notice that the Location filter in these reports appears as a Country filter.

This is intentional: 

• Applicant insights are generated from a requisition-focused database that does not rely on job post fields such as the posting location. 
• Instead, the Country value is derived from the location stored on the requisition itself. 
• Because this field is often inconsistent or lightly used in many ATS platforms, Country is the most reliable level of geographic detail we can confidently interpret and surface in reporting.

ATS Filters

If JobNav Recruiter is integrated with your ATS, some filters are translated from your ATS into JobNav Recruiter. These may be standard default (i.e. fields inherently required by definition of the integration), or custom (i.e. select fields enabled by users in an ATS and supported by the JobNav Recruiter integration). For more information on ATS-based filters, please see ATS Filters.

JobNav Recruiter Filters

JobNav Recruiter creates other filters, including Job Family and Seniority, based on our analysis of your jobs. These filters help you compare your jobs based on similarities like job type or experience level at a high level that may not be easily available in your ATS filters. For more information on JobNav Recruiter filters, see JobNav Recruiter Filters.

How do filters work?

Filters in JobNav Recruiter are dynamic, so when you select one filter, the other filter options change based on the categories present in the filtered batch. This means you might filter by Location (for instance, for all jobs based in the United Kingdom), and then the other filters (Seniority, Job Family, Posting Type) will include only the options associated with UK jobs. 

These dynamic filters allow users to avoid choosing incompatible filter combinations (that lead to no data).

Can I share a filtered report?

Yes, when you share a report, any filters applied to it will be reflected in the shared version.
