Abstract: Analytical recruitment by tracking stage, disposition, and time. A recruitment module tracks a stage and disposition of a candidate for a recruitment project as the candidate proceeds through the hiring process. Stages are sequential parts of the recruitment process and dispositions indicate the status of the candidate within the stages. The recruitment module also tracks time spent by recruiters in the recruitment process, by recruitment project and by the type of activity performed. Tracking of this level of detail of time, stage, and disposition provides accuracy in status reporting and recruitment project management. Reports can be generated to reflect various metrics important to the recruitment process, including the hours per candidate presented to the client, and a current status of a project compared to the goal. Finally, data can be stored and tracked for use in invoicing, payroll, forecasting, and other analysis.
