👥 Recruitment and Hiring Report in Excel

Recruiting the right people is critical to an organization’s long-term success — but managing the recruitment funnel using scattered spreadsheets and emails often leads to delays, inefficiencies, and poor decision making. The Recruitment and Hiring Report in Excel solves this problem by turning raw candidate data into a centralized, visual dashboard that HR teams can use to track performance, identify bottlenecks, and improve hiring outcomes.

This ready-to-use Excel template captures the entire hiring journey — from initial applications and interviews all the way to final hires — and presents key metrics via easy-to-understand KPI cards, charts, and tables. Unlike complex HR systems, this report is fully Excel-based and can be customized without any coding or advanced technical skills.

Whether you want to measure hiring success by department, track interviewer effectiveness, or analyze sourcing channels, this dashboard provides the data-driven insights you need to improve your recruitment strategy.
