Understanding This Report

What This Report Shows You

The Hiring History Report displays a complete record of placements that began within your selected timeframe. Each row represents one hire with full details about the candidate, job assignment, financial terms, and team members involved. This historical perspective helps you analyze placement patterns, review past hiring decisions, and track recruiting outcomes over extended periods.

The report includes both contractor and permanent placements, providing a comprehensive view of all hiring activity. Use the date filters to define your analysis window—from a single day to multiple years of placement history.


Why Use This Report

This report helps you analyze historical hiring patterns and answer retrospective questions:

  • How many placements did we make during a specific quarter or year?
  • Which recruiters and sales reps drove the most successful hires during a given period?
  • What was the total revenue generated from placements started in a specific timeframe?
  • How have our placement volumes trended over multiple years?
  • Which clients consistently hired from us during a particular period?
  • What recruiting sources produced the most successful placements historically?
  • How long did it take from background check completion to actual start date for past hires?


Who Benefits From This Report

Reading the Data

Understanding Key Field Categories

The Hiring History Report provides extensive detail about each placement, organized into categories that support different analytical needs:

Placement Basics: Requisition ID, Requisition, Requisition Title, Department, Req EOR (job type), Placement ID identify the specific hire and associated job.

Client & Manager Context: Company, Manager, Manager Email, Manager Department, billing address fields provide client relationship context and invoicing information.

Candidate Information: Applicant name and ID, candidate contact details (address, phone, email), talent status, file number, and applicant tags allow candidate tracking and communication.

Timeline & History: Hired Date, Start Date, End Date, Original Hired Date, "Hired After Bkgrnd Check (Days)" show the complete placement lifecycle and timing metrics.

Financial Structure: Bill Rate, Pay Rate, Estimated Hours, Placement Fees, VMS Fee, Markup %, Hourly Margin, overtime rates and markups, discounts, flat fees, and currency details provide complete compensation picture.

Team & Commission: Candidate Rep, Sales Rep, Entered Placement, Commission Users (1-4) with types and percentages show who managed the placement and commission allocation.

Source Attribution: Candidate Source Tag and Nomination Source reveal which recruiting channels produced these successful placements.

Additional Details: Custom Job Details, Placement Branch, Employment Types, Rate Types, OT calculations, Bonus Pay Accrual, and other specialized fields support detailed analysis.

Field Category How to Use It
Timeline Analysis Compare Hired Date (when marked hired in system) versus Start Date (when work actually began) to understand scheduling patterns. "Hired After Bkgrnd Check (Days)" measures onboarding efficiency—how quickly you transitioned cleared candidates to active work.
Revenue Analysis Calculate total revenue by multiplying Bill Rate × Estimated Hours for all contractor placements in a period. Add Placement Fees for permanent hires. Track Hourly Margin and Markup % to assess profitability trends over time.
Source Effectiveness Group placements by Candidate Source Tag and Nomination Source to identify which recruiting channels historically produced the most hires. Calculate cost-per-hire by source to optimize recruiting spend.
Commission Tracking Review commission structures for past placements to verify payments were processed correctly or to analyze how commission allocation has changed over time. Audit for discrepancies between recorded commission splits and actual payments.
Client Relationship History Filter by Company to see complete placement history with specific clients. Export this data for account reviews, demonstrating your track record and identifying patterns in client hiring behavior.


Interpreting What You're Seeing

Placement volume fluctuations: If certain months or quarters show significantly higher or lower placement counts than others, identify whether this reflects seasonal hiring patterns, market conditions, or internal resource changes. Use these patterns to forecast future staffing and recruiting intensity needs.

Declining margins over time: If Hourly Margin or Markup % percentages decrease in recent placements compared to historical averages, investigate whether competitive pricing pressure, VMS fee increases, or wage inflation are compressing profitability. Adjust pricing strategies accordingly.

Successful source concentration: If most successful placements come from just one or two sources (Candidate Source Tag), you're over-reliant on limited channels. Diversify sourcing to reduce risk and potentially access untapped talent pools.

Long background check to hire times: If "Hired After Bkgrnd Check (Days)" consistently exceeds benchmarks (e.g., 7-10 days), process delays are costing you revenue. Every day between clearance and start date is lost billing opportunity.

Client hiring pattern changes: If historically active clients show no recent placements, this signals relationship risk. Proactively reach out to understand why hiring slowed and whether the relationship needs attention.


Strategic Applications

Year-Over-Year Performance Analysis

Export placements for the same date range across multiple years (e.g., Q1 2023, Q1 2024, Q1 2025). Compare total placement counts, average bill rates, margin percentages, and revenue to measure growth and identify trends. Present this data to leadership to demonstrate recruiting effectiveness and justify resource allocation.

Track whether placement quality has improved over time by analyzing metrics like "Hired After Bkgrnd Check (Days)" (lower is better) or commission structures (simpler structures may indicate process maturity).

Recruiting Source ROI Measurement

Group historical placements by Candidate Source Tag to calculate placement counts per source. If you track recruiting spend by source, divide total spend by placement count to determine cost-per-hire. Eliminate underperforming sources and increase investment in high-ROI channels.

Compare source effectiveness across different job types or industries. A source performing well for administrative roles may not work for technical positions—specialize your sourcing strategy based on historical success patterns.

Client Account Health Assessment

Filter by individual companies and review placement frequency over extended periods. Clients with consistent quarterly placements represent stable, reliable revenue. Those with sporadic hiring may require different account management approaches or indicate project-based needs requiring proactive pipeline building.

Calculate average time-to-fill for each client by analyzing gaps between Original Hired Date and multiple extensions. Clients with quick hiring processes are easier to service; those with lengthy delays may need process improvement discussions.

Team Performance & Productivity Benchmarking

Filter by individual recruiters (using Candidate Rep) or sales reps across extended periods to calculate lifetime placement counts and revenue contribution. Use this data in performance reviews, promotion decisions, and compensation planning.

Compare placement-to-activity ratios by cross-referencing this report with recruiting activity data. Recruiters with fewer placements but proportionally fewer activities are more efficient than those with high activity but low conversion rates.

Margin & Profitability Trend Analysis

Track Hourly Margin, Markup %, and VMS Fee percentages over time to understand profitability trends. If margins are compressing, determine whether it's due to competitive pricing pressure (lower bill rates), wage inflation (higher pay rates), or VMS fee increases.

Identify your most profitable placement types by filtering for high-margin placements. Analyze what makes these placements successful—specific industries, job types, or client characteristics—and pursue similar opportunities.

Compliance & Audit Documentation

Generate comprehensive placement records for specific periods to support audits or regulatory inquiries. The report's extensive detail provides documentation about employment types, worker classification, commission structures, and hiring practices.

Export historical data before system migrations or major process changes to preserve complete records. These archives serve as baseline comparisons and historical references when analyzing post-change performance.
