What is the best way to keep organized as a recruiter? 

The Importance of Specificity in Recruitment Metrics

I am giving you my general experience of people that are not clients of ours when they come to us and the help they need.  They might have a billing goal, but if it’s $300,000 and I’m like, what do you have to do every day to hit that goal?  I need to talk to candidates and clients.  No, no, no.  How many statistically do you need to talk to?  How many interviews do you need to arrange, job orders, per month, per week?  So, 95% of the people we get in contact with do not know the answer. 

Crafting a Metrics-Centered Plan for Success

One, you get the answers.  What are the exact, specific, and precise metrics you need to hit your billing goals?  There are exact, specific, and precise metrics. 

Two, you build your plan around those metrics.  Let’s use a conversation I had earlier.  The person needed 4 marketing presentations and they needed 8 recruit presentations to hit their $300,000 billing goal. 

Do I need to hire a researcher? 

Do I have a list prepared? 

The Power of Daily Conversations: Getting Clarity On When Your Day is Done

Now once I hit my 12 conversations, Monday afternoon, 5:30, I’m like, I’m done for the day.  I don’t care if a deal blew up today, if I got a job order, or if I arrange an interview.  I talked to 12 people.  Because I know if I talk to 12 people every day, by the end of the week, I’m going to have a search assignment and I am going to have 2 interviews.  If I do that every week, I am going to have $300,000 to $350,000 billed.  That is the best way to get organized and keep organized.

Why Lack of Organization Often Signals Lack of Focus

When I see lack of organization, I generally see lack of focus.  When I see a lack of focus, I see a lack of a clear outcome and with time, measured achievable goals, and that is where the metrics part is. 

If that is something you want help with, that’s one of the things I think we are most brilliant at.  You want to get a hold of Priscilla on our team, Priscilla@TheRecruiterU.com and go, hey, what does your program look like?  I want to really get organized as a recruiter, and I want to put all these things in place.  That is where you start.  Clear desire, back that into a number, back that number into monthly and weekly and daily activities.
