The Dashboard may appear differently for accounts that have fewer than 10 interviews total and also for accounts that have not sent any Byteboard interviews within the last 30 days. Continue to send more interviews to make the most of your Byteboard dashboard!

1. Interview Volume

The Interview Volume metric displays the total number of Byteboard interviews that your candidates have taken over time, graphed on a month-to-month basis.

The monthly numbers reflect finalized interviews within the month, not the number of invites sent. Incomplete interviews do not count toward these totals.

ℹ️

*Note — The Interview Volume metric only includes fully completed/graded interviews that resulted in a Skills Report being generated.

2. Overall Journey With Byteboard

The Overall Journey With Byteboard section give you a snapshot of how Byteboard has been used for your account all-time. This section is broken down into key metrics:

Avg Candidate Satisfaction — Average rating score on a scale of 1 to 5 given by candidates on an optional survey after completing the interview; the overall average for all candidates.

Each candidate is sent a post-interview survey and is asked to grade their satisfaction of the Byteboard experience on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable.

Invites Sent — the number of Byteboard interview invitations sent to candidates

Onsites — indicates the total number of your Byteboard candidates who have been marked as ‘Onsite’ or ‘TPS + Onsite’ for their Next Steps in the Candidates table.

🚨

*Please note that this number will only be accurate if your team has provided Byteboard with up-to-date candidate outcomes data, either by manually providing Next Steps in the Byteboard portal or by completing ATS integration setup to automate sending this data to Byteboard from your ATS.

Offers — indicates the total number of your candidates who have been marked as ‘Offer Made’, ‘Offer Declined’, or ‘Offer Accepted’ for their Offer Status in the Candidates table.

🚨

*Please note that this number will only be accurate if your team has provided Byteboard with up-to-date candidate outcomes data, either by manually providing Offer Status in the Byteboard portal or by completing your ATS integration setup to automate sending this data to Byteboard from your ATS.

Hours Saved — calculated by aggregating the number of pre-onsite and onsite interviews replaced by using Byteboard. We assume all interviews take 60 minutes with a 30-min post interview feedback session. The onsite interviews replaced is calculated by determining how many fewer candidates will be needed to achieve 1 offer (comparing Byteboard’s onsite-to-offer rate with the industry average of 25%). This does not include recruiting time saved!

Best Practice — Once a candidate receives an offer as part of their next steps in the interview process, navigate to the Candidates table and populate the Offer Status column. This data will provide the most updated insights on the Dashboard page for how many offers you’ve made for each interview type as a result of using Byteboard!

3. Candidate Distribution

The graph depicts the total number of finalized candidates overall by top-level rating as well as the percentage of each rating against the total.

*Note — the Candidate Distribution chart doesn’t include interviews marked as Incomplete.

‼️

As of 6/1/2023 the Candidate Distribution chart Other category encompasses the newer Leaning Strong and Needs Improvement ratings as well as the legacy More Review rating. View your Candidates table tab to view the breakdown for each candidate rating category.

If over time your candidate distribution is showing an unusually high proportion of Strong or Poor ratings, reach out to the Byteboard team and we’ll work together with you to determine if a recalibration of your account’s interview grading rubrics may better suit your hiring needs and success metrics! Depending on your goals and process, a high number of Leaning Strong or Needs Improvement candidates may also be a good indication that a re-calibration is needed.
