There are new and updated revenue looks available in JobAdder Analytics.

We know you can often be faced with conflicting numbers between JobAdder and JA Analytics. Differences in fee calculations, invoice schedules, and placement types can make it difficult to get a clear view of real revenue, leading to guesswork and time-consuming manual reconciliation.

With Unified Revenue Reporting, we’re aligning revenue calculations across the platform to create a single source of truth. By incorporating billed revenue from retained job invoice schedules and improving temp placement estimates using actual working days, agencies can now rely on consistent, accurate reporting.

How to Use This Feature

You can interact with the improved revenue reporting in two primary ways:

1. Accessing Updated Dashboards

2. Utilising the Revenue Explore in ‘Build Your Own’

For custom reporting, navigate to the Explore menu and select Revenue.

• Purpose: Look up information related to One-off fees, Retained job invoices, and Recurring fees.
• Attribution: Drag in the “Fee Assignee” dimension to see revenue split by the specific Recruiter or Owner assigned to the fee.

Fee Calculation Logic

Understanding how each metric is derived is key to interpreting your data correctly.

1. Recurring Fees (Temp & Contract)

Recurring revenue is calculated as the sum of the Daily Margin for every day a placement is active within your selected time period.

• Daily Rate Derivation: The system takes the Weekly Margin and divides it by the number of checked workdays on the placement. If none are checked, then the calculation assumes 5 days (Mon-Fri).
• Prorating: If a placement starts or ends mid-week, the system only counts the margin for the specific active workdays within that period.
• Splits: If a split is defined, the daily rate is multiplied by the Recruiter’s percentage or fixed share.

2. One-off Fees (Perm & Retained)

This metric represents the total value of fixed-fee revenue.

• Placement Fees: Includes the total fee from all standard and retained placements created or started within the period depending on mapping preference.
• Retained Invoice Fallback: For “Retained” jobs, the system looks for associated invoices. If no placement record exists for that job, it will include the value of invoices sent during the period.
• Prevention of Double-Counting: If a placement does exist, all associated invoices are ignored, as the full value is assumed to be captured on the placement record – see FAQs for more information.

3. Total Fees

This is a consolidated measure that provides the “big picture.”

• Calculation: [One-off Fees] + [Recurring Fees].
• It respects all individual logic paths (prorating for temp, invoice fallback for retained) to provide a single, non-overlapping revenue figure.

4. Average One-off Placement Fee Percentage

This metric measures the effectiveness of fee negotiations for permanent placements.

• Individual Calculation: For each placement, the percentage is calculated as: (Placement Fee / Total Remuneration) * 100.
• The Average: The final measure displayed in reports is the arithmetic mean of these individual percentages for all qualifying placements that were created in the time period.
• Exclusions: Placements with zero or NULL values for either Total Fee or Total Remuneration are excluded to ensure accuracy.

5. Average Recurring Fee Margin Percentage

This profitability metric tracks the margin performance of active temp and contract assignments.

• Individual Calculation: For each placement active in the period, the margin is calculated as: (Net Margin / Client Charge Rate) * 100.
• The Average: The system identifies all placements active during the selected timeframe based on Placement start date and end date, and calculates the average of the individual margin percentages for active placements.
• Frequency: Each placement is counted only once in the average calculation, regardless of how many days it was active during the period.

We’re renaming ‘Consultant’ throughout JobAdder Analytics to be more descriptive and accurate, so you can better understand the meaning of your data.

The word ‘Consultant’ pops us in many places, like dashboard and look titles and filter and column names. But there’s not much consistency around what it means and who it refers to. It could mean:

• The job owner (for example, the Jobs look on the Consultants dashboard)
• The user who updated the application status (for example the Internal Interviews look on the Consultants dashboard)
• The company owner (for example the Companies Added look on the Companies dashboard)

Sometimes the Consultant object can even vary between different columns within the same look!

In this update, you’ll see the following instances of ‘Consultant’ renamed:

• Filters (for example, the Consultant is now the Placement Owner on the Active Contractors dashboard for Agency)
• Column names and descriptions in looks (for example, the Consultant is now the Contact or Company Note Creator on the BD Activity Report for Agency)
• Column names and descriptions in drill downs (for example, the Hire Owner and Job Owner will now be displayed on the Closed Jobs dashboard for In-House)

We are adding one column to the Overview Details look on the Overview dashboard.

The new column is for displaying Open Positions– the number of positions against open job orders minus the count of hire records against open job orders.

We know you sometimes fill multiple positions per job order. Currently, we are only displaying the number of open jobs and the total count of positions against those open job orders.

Now you can don’t need to do any manual calculations to understand how many positions you still need to fill. Hooray!

We’ve also given the dashboard a sleek new look that aligns with the other dashboards.

Do any of these questions sound familiar?

• I’ve updated an application to a new application status in JobAdder, but it’s not showing up in PowerAdder!
• I’ve tracked my business development activity with a note in JobAdder, but it’s not reflected in PowerAdder!
• Why are some application status updates counted towards the total of client interviews and others aren’t?
• Why are some application status updates for one application counted twice towards my total of internal interviews?

To date, you’ve had no visibility of your PowerAdder data mapping beyond the initial account setup.

Over time, you or your team may have deleted or added new application statuses or note types, but these changes weren’t reflected in PowerAdder unless you reached out to our Customer Support or Customer Success team to do it.

Now, you can see at a glance how your JobAdder data is mapped into the PowerAdder platform.

This dashboard helps you understand what the metrics in PowerAdder are based on, whether an application status is in use in PowerAdder before deleting it from JobAdder, and so whether your mapping is still up to date.

It’s essential that all of your temp candidates have the correct documentation to remain compliant throughout their temporary placement.

To help you stay on top of this massive task, the Placement Document Compliance dashboard in JobAdder Analytics surfaces any placed candidates with expiring documents.

But wait. It just got better. Now you can also see the document type and key information about the placement!

You can also filter the dashboard by document type and placement details, allowing you to narrow down the list to those documents and placements that are relevant to compliance.

Then just schedule, export and action your report to keep your candidates compliant.

Available filters:

• Document Group
• Document Type (NEW)
• Placement Recruiters Teams (NEW)
• Expiry Date
• Placement Recruiters Office (NEW)

Columns

• Placement ID
• Placement Job Title (NEW)
• Placement Company (NEW)
• Placement End Date (NEW)
• Candidate Full Name
• Candidate Email
• Placement Recruiters
• Placement Recruiters Office (NEW)
• Placement Recruiters User Group (NEW)
• Document Name (NEW)
• Document Type (NEW)
• Document Group
• Expiry Date
• Days Since/To Expiry

We’ve made it simple for you to understand how your jobs are progressing, and keep your clients and hiring managers in the loop. All your hard work, summarised in one dashboard.

The new Job Progress Snapshot dashboard visualises the pipeline for any of your open jobs, showing the progress you’ve made in filling roles, plus all the details for active applicants and unsuccessful candidates.

You can even set up automated reports to be emailed on schedule to your clients and hiring managers

In one simple dashboard, you’ll be able to see at a glance:

• how many applications there are
• where they are coming from
• how many have been progressed, and
• how many have been made unsuccessful

Here’s everything you can do with the new Job Progress Snapshot dashboard:

You don’t always need to be across your entire dashboard. Sometimes you just need a quick look at an individual report.

Now you can view and schedule those reports.

Whether you’re viewing it in PowerAdder, or getting it delivered to your email inbox, you can find exactly what you’re looking for right when you need it.

You can also view unlimited rows in an individual report, rather than being limited to 500 rows per table in your entire dashboard report.

So what sort of reports can you view?

• Check your business pipeline’s health with the Estimated Fee Pipeline report every week
• Celebrate your top billers with the Top Biller report every month
• Extend placements or redeploy contractors with the Active/Upcoming Temp/Contract Placements report, filtered by consultant and placement end date

Here’s the complete list of individual reports you can view and schedule:

We’ve added new columns for both calendar days and weekdays so you can measure and report on ‘count of days’ metrics in multiple ways.

All reports are now based on weekdays, but display both weekdays and calendar days when drilled down into deeper insights.

We’re also including improved report descriptions so you can easily identify whether the given report displays weekdays or calendar days.
