I was just curious as to how many client (external) submittals that you are required to produce on a weekly basis? I am being asked to produce 20 per week and with the requirements that I am working, I'm finding it hard to meet that goal. Thoughts?
In my experience, it depends. It depends on the industry specialties, how well the agency is known within them, and how well you know those industries; It depends on the functional specialties, how well the agency is known within them, and how well you know those specialties; It depends on the commitment that your agency has to real recruiter training and truly helpful support or their recruiters.
One of the classic examples of insanity within our industry, is in recruiting managers initiating efficiency-related goals and objectives, before they initiate effectiveness-related recruiting goals and objectives. By that I mean, one should perform skill well several times before one should be expected to add the factor of time into the evaluation of their performance.
You've got to be kidding me here, aren't you? I checked out your profile and I see you are in I.T. staffing. So am I. I can not imagine being able to produce 4 submittals (intro's) every day. No way. No how.
Hopefully we're not talking about the same thing. That is possible. For me a submittal is someone I firmly believe is: qualified, interested and available. I absolutely expect my client to interview them. A ratio of 2 submittals to 1 send out would be the minimum result. You really should expect 1.5 intro's to 1 send out. So at a minimum you're expected to do 40 send-outs a month? Most I.T. desks would run out of gas trying to pull that off for a whole week - let alone 2 weeks in a row.
