How is your recruitment performance measured in your current role?

Recruitment is a competitive industry, and your role as a temp recruiter is similar to that of a sales professional. Some of your performance metrics will include the number of placements you make, how quickly you fill a job order, your business development activity (gaining new clients or asking for more job orders), your temp-to-hire ratio, and total temp hours billed. Discuss with the interviewer the ways that your performance is measured, and discuss how you stack up compared to others on your team.

"The most important metrics in my role are the speed at which I fill a job order, and the number of new job orders I bring in to the agency. Right now my expectations are set at gathering ten new job orders per week. For the year, my average is 14 JO's, and I am in the top place for placements as well. You can see that I am a high performer, and I look forward to bringing this winning attitude to your agency."
