Get an overview

Elvium’s recruitment analytics are designed specifically for HR and recruitment: you get a visual, intuitive dashboard that translates raw data into concrete actions. The goal isn’t just to generate reports, but to help you make better decisions, improve the candidate experience, and continuously optimize your recruitment strategy.

What are recruitment statistics and why are they important for HR?

Recruitment statistics are the data and metrics that describe how your recruitment process actually works: how many candidates you attract, where they come from and how quickly they move through the process. In HR-speak, we often talk about recruitment analytics or recruitment analytics, but the purpose is the same: to use data to make better decisions.

With statistics in your recruitment system, you get:

A common language across HR and the business
An objective way to assess whether campaigns and job postings are working
A concrete basis for improving candidate experience and time-to-hire

View the entire candidate journey in a single dashboard

Elvium's statistics gather all your recruitment data in one clear dashboard at position level. Instead of jumping between job portals, Excel sheets and manual reports, you get a complete picture of what happens from first visit to finished application.

Timeline and campaign impact: from view to candidate quality

One of the most valuable features of Elvium's statistics is the timeline. It shows the correlation between your recruitment activities and candidate behavior: when you advertise, share or boost a post and when there is an actual boost in visits and applications.

The timeline makes it possible to see:

When campaigns create peaks in traffic and applications
Whether certain posts or shares on social media actually move anything
How applications evolve when you adjust the text, change requirements or move the position to a new channel

By linking the timeline with average candidate rating, you also get a picture of candidate quality and not just volume. This means you can see which activities attract the best candidates and adjust strategy and budget accordingly. In this way, statistics become a decision-making tool, not just a report.

Key metrics: applications, conversions and average application time

The updated dashboard shows:

Applications over time: see exactly when candidates engage with your posts
Average application time: measure how easy and efficient your application process is
Follow the entire candidate flow from viewing to submitted application

By tracking changes over time, you can quickly see if changes to your job postings, forms or process are actually making it easier or harder to apply. At the same time, you can benchmark each position against the company average and identify the posts that are performing exceptionally well or need help.

Source performance: which channels generate the best candidates?

Source analysis is a key part of recruitment statistics in Elvium.

For example, you can see:

Which job portals generate the most completed applications
How social media campaigns affect both traffic and conversion
Whether direct links from e.g. career site or newsletter generate better candidates than paid ads

With this knowledge, you can shift budget from low-impact channels to the sources that generate more and better applications instead of optimizing blindly.

From HR statistics to decisions: how to use your statistics

Where many other systems only show numbers, Elvium's statistics are designed to support concrete decisions in HR and recruitment. Every chart and graph has a clear purpose: to give you actionable insights.

With recruitment statistics in Elvium, you can e.g:

Identify bottlenecks in the recruitment process (e.g. slow screening or too long application form)
Compare jobs and departments across the organization
Find the optimal time to post a job based on historical applications
Benchmark each position against company averages and previous campaigns
Understand candidate behavior by linking visits, registrations and applications over time

Statistics is developed in close collaboration with HR professionals and recruiters who want clarity over complexity. And if you need guidance, Elvium's support team is ready to be a true partner.

Why choose Elvium for recruitment statistics over other ATS systems?

The ATS and recruitment systems market is filled with solutions that promise analytics and dashboards. However, many focus primarily on overall KPIs such as time-to-hire and cost-per-hire, often without a clear link to the specific candidate journey or campaign efforts.

Elvium's statistics stand out in particular:

Full candidate flow tracking from first visit to final application
Source analysis + campaign impact: see both where candidates are coming from and when your activities are working
Average application time with improvement options to make it easier for you to apply
The combination of impact and candidate quality via candidate rating
Personal sparring: Elvium not only provides data, but also advice and recommendations
Danish design and support: a simple, clear interface that makes it easy to work with statistics in everyday life

Compared to other providers, where the focus is typically on standard reports and classic KPIs, Elvium is built to provide a more detailed and actionable understanding of both campaigns and the candidate journey.
