We have been discussing this topic quite a bit in prepration for a Careers site redesign. We know the numbers in terms of visitors to my current client's Career site but alot of the important data is lost due to firewall isseus (referring sites data) and the hand-off from the corporate careers site into the ATS systems providers site. The ATS/HMS providers should provide dashboards to their cutomers that show application abandonment rates etc. so they continuosly improve the application process. There are alot of assumptions made regarding best practices of online application processes but this would be best delivered to customers through evaluation of web statistics.

It seems that they often put the tools in place but then pass the responsibility on to the customer to do the reporting, which in big corporations, just does not happen. And to the Urchin purchase, having their reporting built into Google would truly be the next level of PPC reporting. Keep up the great analysis. Joel:
