Top Line KPI Metrics
The dashboard displays six key performance indicators that provide a comprehensive view of talent community and pool health:
Talent Community Size – Total count of connected profiles in your talent community. Measures the overall size of your talent network built through proactive engagement and relationship building.
Talent Community Hires – Total number of hires sourced from Talent Community and Talent Pools. Measures the effectiveness of your talent community investment in converting engaged candidates into employees.
Talent Pool Size – Total number of profiles in your active talent pools. Indicates the size of curated candidate groups organized by skills, roles, or strategic initiatives.
Talent Pool Hires – Total number of hires sourced from Talent Pools specifically. Measures how effectively your targeted talent pools convert into successful hires.
Average Experience (Years) – Average years of work experience across all connected profiles in your talent community. Helps you understand the experience level of your talent network.
Available Now – Percentage of profiles indicating immediate availability to start work. Shows how many talent community members are actively job seeking and ready for opportunities.

Understanding Key Calculations
Talent Community vs. Talent Pools
Talent Community refers to all connected profiles who have engaged with your organization through proactive sourcing, career site registrations, event attendance, or relationship building. These profiles have opted into ongoing communication and represent your broader talent network.
Talent Pools are curated subsets of your talent community organized by specific criteria such as skills, roles, projects, or strategic initiatives. A single profile can belong to multiple talent pools. Talent pools enable targeted outreach and campaign management.
Talent Community Size
Talent Community Size counts unique connected profiles where connection status is connected and excludes archived or do-not-contact profiles. This represents active talent relationships your organization maintains.
Hire Attribution
Talent Community Hires includes any candidate whose source group is talent community & talent pools, covering hires from both broad community engagement and specific talent pool campaigns.
Talent Pool Hires specifically counts candidates whose source is talent pool, representing hires directly attributed to targeted pool outreach rather than general talent community engagement.
These metrics together show the ROI of your talent community investment and help you compare targeted pool campaigns versus broader community nurturing.
Growth Metrics
Talent Community Growth Over Time displays both monthly profile additions (bars) and cumulative community size (line). The cumulative trend line shows your total talent network growth trajectory over time, while monthly bars indicate recruitment marketing effectiveness and engagement campaign success.
Talent Pooling tracks monthly additions and removals to talent pools. Positive net changes indicate growing pipeline health, while consistent removals may signal the need for better engagement or more relevant pool criteria.
Profile Characteristics
Average Experience (Years) calculates the mean years of work experience across all connected profiles. This metric is grouped into 5-year experience bands for distribution analysis (0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25+ years).
Available Now measures the percentage of profiles indicating available now availability status versus other statuses (available soon, not looking, open to offers). Higher percentages indicate more candidates actively job seeking, while lower percentages suggest a pipeline of passive candidates requiring longer nurture cycles.
Desired Salary Distribution groups profiles by salary expectation ranges. The dashboard filters out outlier values (below $20k or above $2M) to ensure meaningful analysis. This distribution helps align talent community composition with budget constraints and compensation benchmarks.
Demographic Metrics
Gender Distribution calculates the percentage composition of your talent community by gender. This metric supports diversity tracking and can be segmented by other dimensions to identify opportunities for more equitable pipeline development.
Current Relationship shows the mix of profile types:
- Alumni – Past employees who left the organization
- Contractor – Current or past contractors
- External – Candidates with no prior employment relationship
- Internal – Current employees (may be in pools for internal mobility)
Higher alumni percentages indicate strong boomerang hire potential, while higher external percentages reflect broader market sourcing success.
