Average Number of Hires per Recruiter
The ratio of hires per recruiter in an organization.
How to interpret this data
Definition
Hires per recruiter is a key metric to measure productivity. We calculate this by taking the number of hires per recruiter over a quarter to produce a ratio.
Why it's important
Combining this with metrics like application to hire rate provides a strong picture of the overall recruitment landscape. For example, see the downward trend over 2023 compared to 2022. This is likely a result of overall hiring being down in many industries.
Methodology
This data is based on more than 70,000 jobs handled by dedicated recruiters over the period.
