The Connect Engagement Dashboard

Understand and support your principals' hiring activity

Written by Steve Lydon

The Connect Engagement Dashboard (CED) gives district leaders visibility into hiring activity across their schools, helping them understand principal engagement with Nimble Connect and identify where support may be needed.

This is the first milestone in an ongoing rollout of the Connect Engagement Dashboard. The initial release is designed to provide visibility into hiring activity and engagement across your district. Future milestones will expand the dashboard with additional functionality, including more ways for district and HR leaders to take action directly from the dashboard, deeper insights into hiring progress, and enhanced tools to help support principals throughout the hiring season.

We encourage you to begin using the dashboard now to monitor engagement, identify schools that may need assistance, and familiarize yourself with the data that will continue to expand over time.

How to use the dashboard

The Connect Engagement Dashboard is intended to help district and HR leaders proactively support principals throughout the hiring season. You can use it to:

  • Monitor overall hiring engagement across your district.

  • Identify principals or schools that may need assistance completing their hiring preferences.

  • See which schools are actively receiving matches and engaging with candidates.

  • Spot schools that may require outreach because they have not yet enrolled, are missing hiring information, or have not received recent matches.

  • Track district hiring activity over time using both weekly and year-to-date metrics.

As additional dashboard capabilities are released, you'll be able to take more actions directly from the dashboard to help manage and support hiring across your district.

Needs You page

The Needs You page flags principals and prospects who need attention, so you know exactly who to nudge and when.

For each principal, you'll see:

  • Engagement status — whether they're Never active, Active this month, or how long it's been since their last login.

  • Teachers waiting — how many prospects are waiting on a response, and the longest wait time among them.

Expanding a principal shows the prospects waiting on them, including:

  • Prospect status — for example, whether they've Expressed interest.

  • Experience and certification — years of experience and certification status.

  • Wait time — how long the prospect has been waiting for a response.

From this page, you can:

  • Review candidates — look at the prospects in a principal's queue

  • Email a principal directly — select which prospects to include using the In email checkbox, then send a nudge email straight from the dashboard using the Email [Principal Name] button.

Summary Page

The Summary page provides a high-level snapshot of hiring activity for both the current week and year to date (January 1 through today).

The dashboard includes the following metrics:

  • Prospects recommended — The number of unique prospects matched to your principals.

  • Prospects who reached out — The number of unique prospects who reached out to your principals.

  • Weekly active principals — The number of principals who acted on at least one match during the current week.

  • Interview-ready connections — The number of connections where both the principal and prospect have accepted the match.

Analytics by School

The By School page provides a more detailed view of the hiring status for each school in your district, helping you quickly identify where additional support may be needed.

Select any category to view the schools within that group:

  • Not yet enrolled — These schools do not yet have Nimble Connect accounts.

  • Missing data — These schools have Connect accounts but are missing grade-level or subject-area hiring preferences, making them ineligible to receive matches.

  • Being matched — These schools received prospect matches during the current week.

  • Staffed / no prospects — These schools did not receive matches this week because they are marked as Fully Staffed or there are currently insufficient prospects available for their hiring needs.
