- Monitor pipeline velocity (days per stage) and stage-to-stage conversion rates
- Measure source effectiveness to identify which channels produce hires
- Calculate offer acceptance rates and time-to-fill metrics
- Update candidate statuses and pull data automatically if ATS is connected

recruiting-pipeline FAQ
The skill works without ATS integration. You can manually track candidates and update statuses, though automated data pulling and real-time metrics require an ATS connection.
Start with pipeline velocity (days per stage), stage-to-stage conversion rates, and time-to-fill. Add source effectiveness and offer acceptance rate as you mature your tracking.
Compare average days spent in each stage. If candidates linger in Interview or Debrief longer than expected, that's a bottleneck to address.
Yes, the skill manages the full pipeline and can track metrics across multiple roles and requisitions.
