Comment on: Blog Post 'The ONLY recruitment metric that matters…': tes for their interview? Sure, you can arrange 15 "CCI's" in one week - but if you aren't coaching your candidates better than your competitors are, then you aren't going to end up with many placements! You can control nearly everything during the recruiting process, except what goes on in the interview. And you could feel like you've worked extremely hard to get your candidate into that interview, but if you've failed to give them key tips and advice on how to prepare for that SPECIFIC interview (not just generic interview tips!) - then their chances of out performing everyone else are greatly reduced. I'd rather spend more time preparing three candidates for their interview in one week, instead of trying to get an additional 10 interviews in the bag. Can you seriously manage 15 interviews in one week anyway, in addition to trying to meet more clients and candidates for future business? If I've put more focus and energy into preparing my three candidates, in order to ensure they are going to out perform everyone else in their interviews, then I can be very confident that I'll be making good placements. In addition, it doesn't matter how well you prepare those three candidates, you have to be very confident that each candidate you are putting forward for a role fits exactly what the client is looking for. There can be no if's about it... if you're not certain that the candidate you are putting forward is perfect for the role (in the eyes of the client), then what are they paying you for? Forget the numbers game... focus on quality over quantity any day... and you'll be making far more money, without trying to juggle too much in the air at one time. Oh... and if you want to stop playing the numbers game, but don't know how.... Simply find a niche market, and make that niche as small as possible. Become the best recruiter to go to in that niche... make sure you know all the top performing candidates as well as all of the hiring managers. If your niche is as small as mine, then it won't take you very long to build up your reputation in that niche, and stay on top of the game. Just a few tips from me... I've only been doing the job for 12 years now, and I'm far from perfect still! …; Added by Sean O'Donoghue at 9:59am on February 21, 2012
