Agency Recruiters work fast, so the interviewer wants to know about the work volume you have handled in the past. For instance, if you made only three candidate placements in a year, that likely means that you will not work well in a fast-paced agency environment.
Some Agency Recruiters will place a dozen or more candidates per quarter amounting to nearly 50 placements per year. If you work for a boutique firm, that number may be less. Discuss with the interviewer how many placements you are accustomed to securing, assuring them that you are a high performing Agency Recruiter.

"Last year, my goal was to place 35 candidates. I wanted to reach my stretch bonus and I achieved this by placing 42 candidates in total. It felt great! My average placement-per-quarter is around ten candidates."
