52543 (12) - Added single click ability to access Placements directly in Mercury
Navigate to a given Placement record in the core Mercury app directly from an open Mercury Analytics report. For each line displayed in the data table for the ‘Contract Finishers’ report, an "eye" icon is displayed. When a user clicks the "eye" icon, the relevant record is opened in Mercury.
54121 (12) - Added more Detail & Views
You can view greater detail at a glance when using the ‘Individual Hub’ report to quickly and easily compare team members’ performance and address any concerns. Additional views have been added to the ‘Individual Hub’ so that with a single click, a user can switch between detailed views of:
- ‘Recruitment’ activities (e.g. granularity of first, further & final Interview volumes as well as volumes of Offers Made & Placements).
- ‘Business Development’ activities (e.g. Clients added).
- ‘Financials’ (e.g. Placement value, Actual Fees, Fee splits as owner/contributor or similar).
54125 (12) - Remove Extensions from "New Starters"
Within the ‘Contract Starters’ report, users can include/exclude Placements from the visuals where the Starter is actually an extension, with a single click. Therefore, the report is highlighting only truly new Placements and the Profit associated with them. Extensions can be identified by the Placement code in Mercury Core (Placement Code ID). Extensions can be shown/hidden from charts and tables.
56090 (12) - Addition of ‘Likelihood to Extend’ field for Contract/Temp Placements
See how likely Candidates in contract/temporary Placements are to extend their current placement using the ‘Contract Finishers’ report, to understand the impact of revenue and act based on insights provided. ‘Likely to Extend’ column has been added to the ‘Contract Finishers’ report, as well as a toggle added to the main Finishers page of the Contract Finishers report, to switch between "Finishers" and "Likely to Extend Status".
54120 (13) - Placement Value - View of Single Placement Types at a time
We've split out the Placement types in the Placement Value report to view only one type at a time in the main visual, to quickly visualise changes in volume, or view income over time for Placements of a specific type, in isolation. We've added the ability to view only ‘New Permanent’, only ‘New Contract’ and only ‘Extensions’.
61455 (13) - New Financial Overview Report - Trends & Breakdowns
