This metric is not as meaningful as it would be if the results were set to a static date (such as 7/1/2025) vs. showing results on a rolling total of hires since 30 days ago. Today, our numbers fluctuate +/- 10 or so records each week, because results drop off at the same general rate as new hires are added (except 9/1 - the effective date for all new faculty hires.)
For example, my current dashboard metric shows '63 new hires' - but roughly 35 are new Faculty members. My total will likely hover at ~60 for the next few weeks and then drop down to ~30 when my 9/1 starts drop off. This limitation dilutes the value of this metric and prevents us from measuring year-to-date outcomes. (I've attached a screenshot of the dashboard metric, along with my current 'new new hire' report results.)
If the inclusion criteria could be set to a static effective date(7/1/2025), I could view and measure my daily, weekly, and year-to-date progress in real-time - right from my dashboard. (If this enhancement is not possible, please share the report so that we can create our own.)
