Date Range: Based on the Application Date for the candidate(s). Select the start and end date to determine the window of time to pull this information.
All Job Openings: Determine if you would like to view aggregate information for all of your job openings or a specific opening. The report will only show information for job openings that have asked for this information.
Total Job Candidates: On the right side, you will see the total number of candidates during the selected time frame for the chosen job opening. The circle graph will show the breakdown by gender. Male candidates show in blue, female candidates show in pink, and those who declined to specify their gender will show in grey.
Bar graph breakdown: The bar graph shows you the number of candidates who declared each veteran status. The available responses are based on standard U.S. government responses and cannot be changed. These numbers are also color-coded by gender.
Table: The table displays Veteran Status and Gender as the column headers with the total count and the hired count. Each veteran status will appear in the table three times depending on the associated gender selected (i.e., Male and Not a veteran, Female and Not a veteran, or Declined to answer and Not a veteran).

If you need to export the data, click the Action Icon in the upper right corner of the report.
