Dashboard Overview
The dashboard is your home screen in Recruitier. It provides a snapshot of your recruitment activity, subscription status, and quick access to the actions you perform most frequently. Every time you log in, the dashboard gives you the information you need to prioritize your day. The dashboard layout is the same for all users, regardless of your chosen account goal. It provides a consistent overview of your recruitment metrics, recent activity, active work, and subscription status.Stats Cards
At the top of the dashboard, you will find summary cards that display your key metrics at a glance:Credits
Shows how many AI credits you have left in the current billing period. Also displays
the total credits included in your plan for context. Trial users start with 30 credits
(plus bonus credits from completing the guided tour).
Time Saved
Displays an estimate of the time Recruitier has saved you through automation, AI
matching, and streamlined workflows. This helps you quantify the platform’s impact on
your productivity.
Outreach Steps
Shows the number of outreach flow steps you have completed. This includes emails sent,
LinkedIn messages composed, and other outreach actions across all your active flows.
Clients
Indicates how many companies you have added to your client pipeline. This includes
companies at any status stage: Prospect, Contacted, Meeting, Won, or Lost.
Active Candidates
Shows the number of candidates you are currently managing. This counts candidates with
active profiles that you have uploaded and are working with.
Credit Usage
The dashboard includes a credit usage section that helps you understand your consumption pattern:- Current period usage — A visual representation of credits used versus credits remaining for the current billing cycle
- Period dates — Shows when the current billing period started and when credits will refresh
- Usage trend — Helps you gauge whether you are likely to run out of credits before the next refresh
| Action | Credits |
|---|---|
| AI message generation | 1 |
| Smart search | 10 |
| LinkedIn/Indeed page results | 10 per page |
| Lusha email-only lookup | 15 |
| LinkedIn contact search | 50 |
| Lusha full contact lookup | 60 |
| Internal job search | Free |
Subscription Information
The dashboard displays your current subscription details:- Plan type — Free Trial, Pro Monthly, Pro Quarterly, Pro Yearly, Agency Monthly, Agency Quarterly, or Agency Yearly
- Trial status — If you are on a free trial, the dashboard shows which phase you are in and how many days remain
- Billing status — Whether your subscription is active, trialing, or cancelled
During Phase 1 of the free trial (days 1-7), you have full access without providing
payment information. At the start of Phase 2 (day 8), you will be prompted to add a
credit card to continue. The trial timer starts at email verification, not registration,
so your countdown is accurate from the moment you actually start using the platform.
Activity Section
Below the stats cards, the dashboard is divided into sections that give you a complete view of your recruitment activity.Activity Feed
The unified action feed shows your recent activity across the platform. This includes:- New job matches — Notifications when monitored searches find new listings that match your criteria
- Candidate match updates — When the AI finishes scoring jobs for a candidate, you see the results here
- Client search alerts — If you have saved client searches with notifications enabled, new matching companies appear in the feed
- Outreach status changes — Updates when emails are sent or outreach flow steps complete
- Team activity — If you work in an agency, relevant actions from team members may appear here
Outreach Analytics
Next to the activity feed, the dashboard includes an outreach analytics chart that visualizes your outreach performance over time. This helps you track the volume and effectiveness of your outreach campaigns at a glance.Active Workspace
The active workspace section displays your current in-progress work, including active searches, ongoing outreach flows, and candidates you are actively working with. This gives you quick access to the items that need your attention right now.Subscription and Recent Activity
At the bottom of the dashboard, you will find:- Recent activity — A secondary view of your latest actions and events
- Subscription card — A summary of your current plan, billing status, and credit balance, with a link to the Subscription page for managing your plan
Onboarding Progress
If you have not completed the onboarding checklist, a floating widget appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This widget tracks your progress through the key first-time actions:- Progress bar — Shows your completion percentage across all 7 onboarding steps (4 universal + 3 goal-specific), with each step worth approximately 14%
- Step counter — Displays your progress as a fraction (e.g., “3/7”)
- Step checklist — Lists all steps with their completion status and links to the relevant platform sections
The onboarding checklist is a floating widget, not embedded in the dashboard itself.
It appears on top of every page until you dismiss it or complete all steps. You can
restart the tour from the widget, or restart the entire onboarding from Settings.
Using the Dashboard to Prioritize Your Day
Here is a practical approach to using your dashboard each morning:- Check credits — Make sure you have enough credits for the searches you plan to run. If you are running low, prioritize your highest-value candidates and use internal job searches (free) where possible.
- Review new matches — Look at the new job matches notification. Focus on excellent matches first, as these represent the best placement opportunities.
- Check client alerts — If you have saved client searches, review any new companies that appeared. These are timely leads that benefit from fast outreach.
- Continue outreach — Use the activity feed to see which outreach sequences need attention. Check for responses that need follow-up.
- Update pipeline — If you had meetings or calls yesterday, update your client pipeline statuses while they are fresh in your mind.
Customization
The dashboard layout follows a consistent structure for all users. If you have not yet created any searches, the dashboard will show prompts encouraging you to start. As you build up your pipeline of candidates, searches, jobs, and companies, the dashboard fills with increasingly useful real-time data.Advanced
Real-Time Updates via SSE
The dashboard receives real-time updates through Server-Sent Events (SSE). This means stats cards, activity feed items, and notifications appear instantly without page refreshes. The technical flow is:- When you load the dashboard, your browser establishes a persistent SSE connection
- The server sends a heartbeat every 15 seconds to keep the connection alive
- When an event occurs (search complete, match found, etc.), it is pushed to your browser
- The dashboard UI updates in place without a full page reload
Only one SSE connection is maintained per user. If you open Recruitier in a second
browser tab, the new tab takes over the SSE connection and the previous tab’s connection
is closed. You will still see updates in both tabs, but real-time events are delivered
to the most recent connection.
Notification Event Types on the Dashboard
The dashboard activity feed shows a subset of Recruitier’s 30+ notification event types. The most common ones displayed include:| Event | What Triggers It |
|---|---|
| Search completion | A job search finishes processing results |
| Match results ready | AI scoring for a candidate completes |
| Contact details found | New email or phone discovered for a company |
| Outreach step completed | An email is sent or a flow step finishes |
| New jobs found | A monitored search finds new listings since the last run |
