Funnel report

What this report is for
The Funnel report counts entries that reached each configured stage and every required stage before it. It exists to turn recruiting activity into a clear conversion path from entry through hire.
- The generic funnel is the company default until an authorized user saves company-specific stages.
- Custom funnels can represent different processes, statuses, flags, activities, folders, or completed schedules.
How to use the funnel
Open Change filters, select a period, opening, or first booking user, and apply the filters. Use the funnel list to switch reports, and edit or create a funnel when the stages do not match the process you want to measure.
- The date range selects entries by entry-created date.
- Opening limits the starting cohort to one opening.
- Booked by uses the user responsible for the first qualifying interview booking.
How to read the funnel
The first stage is the starting cohort. Each later count is sequential: an entry must satisfy that stage and all earlier required stages. Read “from previous” as stage-to-stage conversion and “of starting entries” as overall conversion.
- Observed means a direct signal exists for that stage.
- A lower count identifies leakage between two stages.
- A later observed count may exceed an earlier one, but sequential counts remain ordered.
- Entries by day shows cohort volume; Sequential stage shows the furthest ordered stage reached.
