What is your referral to hire ratio?

This is a very important question before any company hires a Recruiter. Some Recruiters are trapped in this question because they have trouble tracking numbers and activity? Objective of hiring a Recruiter is Target deliverables and by asking this question employer will know of what a Recruiter has done in the past and what he/she is going to do for their clients.

I remember when I started it took me several weeks before I ring the bell. But now I am confident to say, Referral to hire ratio depends on your niche, how many Send-out you should get and of which how many are interviewed. So while calculating your Referral to hire Ratio consider following three:


Send-out, Interview, Hire

I believe a good ratio is: “Send-out : Interview : Hire” ratio of 3:2:1 which demonstrates the quality of a Recruiter work.

“Careful screening is the hallmark to quality staffing”. Our Goal is to deliver to our clients the most professional and personalised service in the industry.
