Measure candidate quality with the Evaluations board

Use the Evaluations board to track how many evaluations your team gives, how it scores candidates, and which sources bring the best.

Evaluations are how your team decides whether a candidate is a good fit — and they often shape whether a candidate gets an offer. The Evaluations board in Reports brings that data into one place. It shows how many evaluations your team completes, how each team member scores candidates, how quickly requested evaluations get done, and which sources bring your highest-rated candidates.

The board is one of the ready-made templates in Reports. New companies get it automatically. If yours doesn't have it, you can add it from the board templates library.

Note: You'll only see data for candidates in jobs you have access to. If you can view all jobs, you'll see data for the whole company.


Add the Evaluations board

If Evaluations already appears in your list of boards in Reports, you can skip this section. Otherwise, add it from the board templates library:

Go to Reports.

Click Add new. If you don't have any boards yet, click Create your first board instead.

In the board templates library, select Evaluations. You can also use the search bar to find it.

Optional: Turn on Show my real data to preview the board with your company's data instead of sample data.

Click Use template.

The board is added to your list of boards, and you'll see a Board added confirmation.

Tip: A board created from a template works like any other board. You can rename it, change the date range of any report, add reports from the library, or remove the ones you don't need.


Key data

The top row of the board shows three headline numbers. By default, they cover the last 7 days:

  • Completed evaluations: The total number of evaluations your team completed.

  • Evaluated candidates: The number of unique candidates who received at least one evaluation. Deleted candidates aren't counted.

  • Average candidate score: The average score of your evaluated candidates, on a scale of 0 to 100. Each candidate's score is the average of all their evaluations, and the board then averages those scores. Candidates without an evaluation aren't included.

Note: Average candidate score is filtered by the date the candidate was added, not the date they were evaluated. For example, with the Last 7 days date range, you see the average score of candidates added in the last 7 days — even if they were evaluated earlier or later.


Advanced reports

Below the key data, the board has five reports that let you dig deeper and compare specific metrics. By default, they cover the last 30 days.

Evaluations over time

A line chart of how many evaluations your team completed each day. Use it to spot trends in evaluation activity before looking at the reports below.

Team member given evaluation scores

A bar chart of the evaluations each team member has completed, broken down by the score they gave. Use it to:

  • See who completes the most evaluations — it works as a leaderboard

  • Check whether a team member leans toward a particular score

  • Compare how consistently your team rates candidates

The scores in the chart match the rating scale your company uses for evaluations.

Requested evaluations by current status

A pie chart of the evaluations your team was asked to do, grouped by status:

  • Completed: The team member submitted the evaluation.

  • Pending: The team member hasn't submitted it yet.

  • Dismissed: The request was dismissed without an evaluation.

This report is based on the date each evaluation was requested.

Time to evaluate per team member

A bar chart of how long each team member takes, on average, to complete an evaluation after it was requested. Only requested evaluations are included.

Average candidate score per source

A bar chart of the average candidate score for each source. Use it to see which sources bring you the highest-rated candidates. Like Average candidate score, it's filtered by the date the candidate was added.

Tip: Check the Evaluated candidates number alongside this report. A source with only a few evaluated candidates can show a very high score that doesn't tell you much yet.


Compare candidate quality across sources

Your recruitment team lead wants to know whether paying for a job board is worth it. They open the Evaluations board once a month and set Average candidate score per source to the last three months. The paid job board averages 45, while referrals average 80. Before deciding anything, they check how many candidates each source brought in — then they share the results with the team and shift more budget toward the referral program.

Tip: Recruitment team leads and anyone measuring candidate quality should check this board weekly or monthly. If you check it less often, expand the date range on each report so you don't miss any data.


Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't Average candidate score match the number of completed evaluations?

They use different dates. Completed evaluations counts evaluations completed in the date range. Average candidate score looks at candidates added in the date range, whenever they were evaluated.

Why do my colleagues and I see different numbers on the same board?

Each person sees data only for the jobs they have access to. If your company uses Fair evaluations, some scores may also be hidden from you until you've added your own evaluation.

Can I change the reports on the board?

Yes. You can change a report's date range, add reports from the library, and remove reports you don't need. Your changes don't affect the template.

What if I delete the board by accident?

You can add it again from the board templates library. Any changes you made to the original board won't be restored.
