Know how your job post is performing.

Job statistics show you who’s seeing your post, who’s clicking and who’s applying — views, unique visitors, search impressions, click-through rate and apply clicks, day by day — so you can tell a quiet market from a weak ad and fix the right thing.

No commissions, no lock-in. Compare plans

  • Views, unique visitors and search impressions

The seven numbers, and what each one means

A short glossary. Read once and the Stats page explains itself.

Search impressions
How many times your post appeared in a list — search results, a category page, the jobs board. Low impressions mean the post isn’t being found; the fix is the title, category and region, not the description.
Page views
How many times the post was opened. Compare with impressions to get your click-through rate.
Unique visitors
How many different people opened it. The gap between views and unique visitors is repeat views — people coming back for a second look, usually before applying.
Click-through rate
Views divided by impressions. This is a test of the title and the first line workers see in a list. If it’s low next to your other posts, the title is the problem.
Apply clicks
How many people pressed Apply. If views are healthy and apply clicks aren’t, workers are reading and leaving — check the salary line, the hours and whether the description makes the work clear.
Applications
How many people finished applying. This is the number that matters; every applicant is listed under Manage Candidates, and on Elite the AI Hiring Assistant ranks them for you.
Repeat views
Views minus unique visitors. A lot of repeat views with few applies often means the post is interesting but something is holding people back — usually pay or hours.

How to read the numbers

Five patterns cover almost every job post.

What you seeWhat it usually meansWhat to change
Low impressionsThe post isn’t being found. Workers search by role name, and category and region filters decide which lists it appears in.Use the plain role name in the title (“Customer Support Specialist”, not “Support Ninja”), check the category, set the region to the countries you’ll hire from.
Impressions fine, views lowThe post is in the lists but nobody opens it. The title or the first line isn’t winning the click against the posts around it.Put the role, the hours and the salary range in the title or first line. Compare the click-through rate with your other posts.
Views fine, applies lowWorkers are reading and leaving. Something in the post is stopping them — the pay, the hours, an unclear description or a long list of must-haves.Add a salary range if there isn’t one. State the hours in the worker’s time zone. Cut must-haves to the real ones.
Applies fine, quality lowThe post attracts people but not the right people. The description is broad enough that everyone thinks they fit.Name the tools, the years of experience and the day-to-day work. On Elite, let the AI Hiring Assistant rank what comes in.
Plenty of good appliesThe post works.Nothing. Shortlist, message and interview — the rest is speed. Good candidates don’t stay available for long.

From post to insight in three steps

  1. Post your job

    Every live job post collects its own statistics from the moment it’s published — no set-up, nothing to switch on, nothing to install. Post free, and the numbers start the same day.

  2. Open Stats

    Dashboard → Manage JobsStats on any live job. Pick a date range and the numbers update — page views and unique visitors, search impressions and click-through, apply clicks and repeat views, each shown per day.

  3. Read it and adjust

    The numbers tell you where the post is leaking. Fix the title, the salary or the description — then watch the next week. Because the counts are daily, you can see whether the change worked within a day or two, not at the end of the month.

A worked example

The most common fix, and what it looks like in the numbers.

Before · week 1

Title: Customer Support Superstar Needed!

Salary: Competitive · Hours: Full-time

Stats: 1,020 impressions · 96 views · 4 applications.

Impressions were fine. The click-through rate was under 10% and most viewers left without applying — the post was losing people at the title and again at the salary line.

After · week 2

Title: Customer Support Specialist — Xero, 9–5 AEST, US$900–1,100/month

Salary: US$900–1,100 · Hours: 9:00–5:00 AEST (7:00–3:00 Manila)

Stats: 1,140 impressions · 214 views · 15 applications.

Same job, same week-day traffic. The title did the work: a clear role name, the tool, the hours in both time zones and a real number.

Illustrative figures for one post. Your own posts are the benchmark that matters — compare them with each other over the same date range.

Applications are the number that matters.

Views and impressions are early warnings. Applications are the result — and every applicant is listed under Manage Candidates, ready to shortlist, message and interview.

Job statistics questions

Where do I find job statistics?

In your employer dashboard: Manage Jobs, then Stats on any live job post. Pick a date range at the top and every number on the page updates for that window.

What’s the difference between views and impressions?

An impression is your post appearing in a search results list or category page. A view is someone opening it. The ratio between them is your click-through rate, which is the best single test of whether your job title is doing its job.

What counts as an apply click?

A click on the Apply button on your job post. Applications received are the people who went on to complete it — and every one of those candidates is listed under Manage Candidates.

Are the numbers live?

Counts update as they happen and are shown per day, so you can see the effect of a change — a new title, a salary added — within a day or two of making it.

Does every job get stats?

Every live job post collects statistics automatically from the moment it is published; there is nothing to switch on. Viewing them is part of the Optimised and Elite plans.

Can I compare two of my job posts?

Yes. Each post has its own Stats page over the same date ranges, so you can put a quiet post next to a busy one and see where the difference is — impressions, click-through or applies.

Do workers see these numbers?

No. Statistics are private to you. Workers see the job post itself, not how many people have viewed or applied to it.

Stop guessing why a post is quiet.
