How is iDBQuery used by staffing and recruiting firms?

Staffing and recruiting firms use iDBQuery to ask plain-language questions across ATS, placement, billing and consultant data, getting cited answers in seconds without SQL. It builds one live model across your ATS/CRM and spreadsheets so leaders track placements, margin and pipeline without a data team.

Staffing agencies run an ATS/CRM plus billing, timesheet and placement spreadsheets, and reporting across them is manual. iDBQuery unifies them into one live model so recruiters, account managers and leadership ask plain-language questions and get a cited answer.

Examples:

  • What is placements, gross margin and revenue by consultant and desk?
  • Show pipeline: submissions, interviews and offers by stage and recruiter.
  • What is fill rate and time-to-fill by client and role type?
  • Which contractors are on assignment, and what is bench versus billable?
  • What is gross margin on temp placements after pay versus bill rates?

iDBQuery connects the ATS/CRM database, timesheet and billing spreadsheets together with no pipeline, joins them, and cites each figure to source, so desk scorecards and margin reports are trustworthy. It builds dashboards for sales meetings, and the Analyst agent can investigate a drop in placements on its own.

Deployment is flexible: cloud, your own VPC, or the Desktop app with query-in-place to keep candidate and client data local. The differentiator over generic BI is that a lean staffing team gets instant answers on pipeline, placements and margin across every system at once, each number traceable back to source, no analyst or pipeline needed.
