Dashboard Analytics
Monitor visitor count, job performance, and traffic trends from your built-in Cavuno dashboard.
A
JView your job board's performance at a glance. See tracked session volume, which jobs get attention, and how traffic changes over time.
Before you begin
Publish at least one job before evaluating job-level performance. For a useful traffic comparison, choose a period that includes the campaign, post, or listing change you want to investigate and a comparable period before it.

Key metrics
Current visitors
The number of distinct tracked sessions with activity in the previous five minutes. Use it as a near-real-time activity signal, not a count of unique people.
Traffic trends
A chart showing distinct tracked sessions over time. Compare it with job launches, campaigns, and referrals to investigate what may have changed; the chart alone does not establish the cause.
Jobs posted
Total count of active job listings. Use this as inventory context when interpreting traffic; the count alone does not show whether visitors found the listings relevant.
Top jobs
Most-viewed job listings. Treat views as an interest signal, then compare apply clicks and applications before deciding which roles or employers to prioritize.
Top companies
Companies with the most job views. Use this to identify which employers resonate with your audience.
Top sources
Traffic ranked by referrer. Each row shows tracked sessions and apply clicks for that source.
Top countries
Tracked session counts by country. Each row shows sessions and apply clicks for that country.
Top devices
Tracked session counts by device type. Each row shows sessions and apply clicks for that device.
Per-job performance
The Jobs list includes three columns for each listing: Views, Apply clicks, and Applications. Views count page loads on the job detail. Apply clicks count presses on the Apply button. Applications counts native applications submitted through your board; jobs using an external application URL show — instead.
Filter by date
Change the time period for your analytics:
- Click the date picker in the top right
- Select a preset:
- Today
- Last 7 days
- Last 30 days
- Last 90 days
- Or choose a custom date range
Verify the selected period
After changing the date range, confirm the date picker shows the period you selected and that the traffic chart, source, country, and device tables refresh together. The Current visitors card is different: it always uses the previous five minutes, so it should not change when you select a historical range. In the Jobs list, an externally hosted application flow should show — under Applications, while its Views and Apply clicks can still increase.
Example investigation
Suppose a newsletter links to three new roles. Select a range covering the send, compare Top sources for newsletter traffic, then inspect those jobs' views and apply clicks. A traffic increase without apply clicks suggests the message earned visits but not enough application intent; it does not identify the cause by itself.
Troubleshoot unexpected numbers
If a visit does not appear, confirm you are viewing the correct board and date range, then allow a few minutes for the dashboard to refresh. Browser privacy controls can prevent a session from being tracked. If Cavuno and GA4 differ, compare their definitions and consent behavior rather than expecting identical totals: Cavuno reports tracked session IDs, while GA4 applies its own identifiers and processing.
Understand your analytics
Traffic spikes
When you see traffic increases:
- Check what jobs were posted that day
- Review any marketing or social posts you published
- Note what worked so you can repeat it
Declining traffic
When traffic decreases:
- Check if you're posting new jobs regularly
- Review your SEO settings for any issues
- Consider adding new content or running a promotion
Popular content
Use top jobs and companies to:
- Understand what job seekers in your niche want
- Guide your outreach to similar employers
- Decide which job categories to expand
