What's a "normal" req load? And..

Hi Everyone!

Things have been humming along at my new company. As the Recruiting Manager, I'm working on building a recruitment plan for 2012 and I have a couple of questions for you..

1) How many reqs loads is manageable for 1 recruiter across various business functions

2) How large of a in-house recruitment team would it take to hire 100 ppl in a year - including tech and executives

Thank you in advance!

Oh, and please connect on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/tsrecruiter

Look forward to hearing from you...

Hi Tracy, I'm a corporate recruiter and had a high of 48 openings at one time across 4 business groups (Marketing, Finance, Technical Sales Support [but not IT] and Purchasing). I average between 25-30. I've been there since June and have filled 45 positions, but that does include some internal moves (although I still have to coordinate internal interviews and help w/ salary discussions).

We have a total of 4 recruiters, a coordinator, and a req carrying Director - will probably hire 300 or more in the next year including a whole lot of entry level college grads - we have a campus recruiter who focuses on that. Don't hold me to that number- I'm taking a stab based on what I've seen this year and what I've heard as far as planning in my client groups. :)
