Conversion rate is $number_hires / $number_prospects_contacted.
It seems that indiscriminate spamming would pretty much tank the conversion rate.
- FussyZeus 10y agoYou're assuming those two parameters, mine were $number_of_interviews / $number_of_prospects. Unless that's an industry term I misused, in which case I apologize.
- greggyb 10y agoI am, and apologies for that. My starting point is "The goal of a recruiter is to fill positions." This leads to hiring actions being the key conversion step. In a hiring pipeline with length like Google's or similar, I could very easily be assigning too much weight to this sort of role. Thanks for helping me think in a different way.
