Dashboard Overview

Access your analytics dashboard from your profile menu under "Analytics" to see comprehensive metrics about:

Key Metrics Explained

Profile Views

What it measures: The number of times recruiters have viewed your complete profile.

Why it matters: Profile views indicate genuine recruiter interest and help you understand your market appeal.

Important filtering: We only count views from recruiters and anonymous users, excluding other job seekers to give you relevant engagement metrics.

Typical ranges:

  • 0-5 views/week: Profile needs optimization
  • 5-15 views/week: Good visibility for most roles
  • 15+ views/week: Strong market presence

Conversion Rates

Your dashboard calculates several important conversion metrics:

Applications per View:

  • Shows how your profile views translate to job applications
  • Helps gauge your application strategy effectiveness
