Insights Overview
Insights provide a data-driven view of your talent pool, helping recruiters understand, refine, and optimize their search strategy. It aggregates the data from your search results to surface patterns in experience, skills, geography, and career backgrounds to help turn that raw candidate list into actionable intelligence.
Use Cases
Rather than reviewing profiles one by one, Insights enable teams to evaluate the entire talent market at a glance to make more informed hiring decisions. From this report, you can:
- Define your recruiting strategy by identifying target companies, talent locations, and realistic hiring criteria before sourcing begins.
- Refine your search by focusing directly on the talent who have a specific skill, job title, major, etc.
- Identify market dynamics to understand talent availability by location, skill, or employer.
Export your Insights report as a PDF to easily share with hiring managers or clients. These are a powerful resource to bring to any intake meeting, sourcing session, or client kickoff that will help you bring clear, data-backed market expertise to every conversation!
Navigating to Insights
All Insights reports are interactive and tied to an individual search. To view a report, open your project’s search and select Insights from the top navigation bar.
For a detailed breakdown of the data included, please see the full report below, organized from the top of the Insights report to bottom.
Top Locations and Key Takeaways
Identify your talent’s top locations or geographic hotspots.
- Top Locations: On the left, you will see the geographical distribution of your talent pool. It will automatically adjust to the geography your talent is located in, showing you up to 10 of the most popular cities. The locations and map are both interactive, in case there is a specific city you want to narrow in on.
- Key Takeaways: On the right, the key takeaways will provide you an aggregated overview of your talent pool, including some stats and highlights from each section. These takeaways can be copied or selected to automatically bring you to the relevant chart.
Years of Experience and Tenure
See the average tenure of your talent, plus their overall years of experience.
- Years of Experience [Values]: Analyze the average, median, and percentile distribution of your talent pool’s overall years of experience. To dive deeper into P25/P75 values, please see the info box below.
- Years of Experience [Graph]: Visually analyze the years of experience distribution across your talent pool. Years of experience is calculated as years of full-time work experience, and does not include internships.
- Average Tenure: The average tenure of a profile represents how long they stay at a company before moving to a new company.
P25, P50 (Median) and P75 Values P25 represents the first quarter of the data. In the context of years of experience, 25% of profiles will have that number or fewer years of experience. The same applies for P50 (Median) and P75.
Skills, Employers, and Job Titles
Dive deeper into the employment background and skills of your talent pool.
- Skills: The most frequently occurring skills across your talent pool. If you have any skills selected or pinned in your search, they will appear in light purple. Skills selected in the search will always be shown as part of the graph.
- Current Employers: The current employers of your talent pool. Please note, this graph may be hidden if there is only one employer identified in your talent pool.
- Past Employers: The top companies where your talent has previously worked at some point in their career.
- Job Titles: The top job titles currently held by your talent pool.
Percentage of Talent Pool Covered by Top 10 In most cases, the Top 10 companies will not cover the entire talent pool. Use the subtitle to identify the percentage covered. For example, in the Current Employers graph above, the Top 10 largest employers cover 50% of profiles, meaning the other 50% are represented by all other employers.
