Candidate participation survey
When a candidate applies for a job that has the EDI survey enabled, they will receive an email with a button prompting the candidate to complete the survey. The candidate selects their responses from the drop-down menu, then clicks Submit, sending the responses back to your Employment Hero account.
These surveys are optional for your candidates.
The admin is only able to view the data in aggregated and anonymised format.
Aggregate reporting
- Log in to Employment Hero.
- Click on Reports on the left-hand side navigation menu.
- Scroll down to Candidate EDI Report.
- Filter by the following:
- EDI metric
- Date range
- Jobs
- Teams
- More - source and country.
- Here you will see your aggregated and anonymised EDI recruitment data. The data will show percentage of candidate demographics by stage, count of candidate demographics by stage and pass-through rates by demographic.
Helpful Hint
To protect candidate anonymity, EDI responses are only shown when there are 5 or more responses for a category in all of the report components: percentage of candidate demographics by stage, count of candidate demographics by stage and pass-through rates by demographic.
