I retired last year, so I don't have the scripts in front of me. Most of our jobs called a stored procedure. The SP inserted a record into Duration table with job name and start time. On completion, the script updated the Duration record with the end time. For some jobs we stored record counts or other useful information. We also stored error codes if there was an issue during the job run.
