Dashboard variations

What you see when you open Skilladder's Dashboard depends on your role. Each role type has its own layout designed around what's most relevant to them.

Candidate / Talent dashboard​

Participants see a personal view showing:

  • Pending invites — assessments they've been invited to but haven't started yet
  • Recent completions — assessments they've finished
  • Skill Profile link — a prompt to view or continue building their profile

This is intentionally minimal. There are no company-level metrics or admin controls here.

Company administrator dashboard​

Company admins see an operational overview of their organisation's assessment activity:

  1. Summary tiles — counts of total assessments, active assessments, and completions
  2. Assessment trends chart — activity over time (weekly or monthly)
  3. Recent candidates — a shortcut list for quick access to recent candidate profiles
  4. Completion pacing — a view of how candidates are progressing through active assessments

If numbers look unexpectedly flat or spiky, check whether a template was recently deployed or a recruiter campaign went out — those are the most common causes.

Directory admin ("Content admin") dashboard​

Directory admins land on a Content admin homepage rather than company hiring metrics:

  • Quick links to Assessments, Templates, and the Skills taxonomy
  • No candidate-level data or completion charts — these are not relevant to their role

The headline of their dashboard reads Content admin, which makes it easy to recognise which type of account you're looking at.

MCA (multi-company) dashboard​

MCA users see a combined view across all companies in their portfolio:

  • Rolled-up totals — aggregate activity counts across all assigned companies
  • Per-company breakdowns — drill down to see which company contributed to the overall numbers

The layout differs from a single-company dashboard to reflect the multi-company context.

:::note Interpreting numbers in demo or staging accounts

Demo and staging accounts use test data that may look inconsistent across filters or date ranges. When presenting to customers, use a verified test account rather than a shared staging environment.
