Recruitment Tracker with Dashboard
Dashboard sheet: live KPIs (Total, Hired, In Process, Hire Rate, Avg Days to Hire) and a hiring-funnel chart — all auto-updating from the tracker. Tracker sheet: candidate pipeline with dropdowns (Source, Stage, Rating), automatic "Days in Pipeline," and conditional-formatting colors on stage (Hired=green, Rejected=red, Interview=amber, etc.).
There is also a lightweight version of this template: Job Application Tracker · Free
Hiring gets messy when candidates are scattered across emails and notes. This free Recruitment Tracker keeps every applicant in one place — name, role, source, stage, interview and decision dates — and works out each candidate's days in the pipeline automatically. Colour-coded stages show at a glance who is screening, interviewing, offered, hired or rejected.
A built-in dashboard turns that list into instant insight: total candidates, hires, hire rate, average time-to-hire and a hiring-funnel chart that updates as you type. Built for Microsoft Excel 2016+, it ships with sample data you can simply overwrite.
