In the image, the goal position of Regional Sales Manager has been reached the most number of times by employees who were in the Account Manager position and then the Enterprise Sales Rep position.
  • Year - Displays the career path results in descending order by the number of years to succession.

Career Paths

The career paths display in the left panel. They indicate the various positions through which the goal position has been reached. For example, "Through Account Manager and Enterprise Sales Rep" indicates that the goal position of Regional Sales Manager has been achieved through the career path of Account Manager as the starting position, and then the successive position of Enterprise Sales Rep. Or, the starting position has also been Enterprise Sales Rep, which led to Regional Sales Manager.

Note: If there is only a starting position entered on the position search page, then the goal position will be any succession end position that has been reached from the starting position. If there is only a goal position entered on the position search page, then the starting position will be any position that was started from to reach the goal position.
