👉 “Recruiters—ever feel like you’re already working on tons of roles, and the business just keeps adding more?”
Â
Let’s break down how to take control with capacity planning.
Capacity planning is how you figure out how many roles you can actually close in a set time— whether that’s a week, a month, or a quarter.
Â
You look at role complexity, your tools, how much help you’ve got and what’s worked for you before.
Why It Matters
It helps you have an honest chat with hiring managers about what’s doable.
It stops you from burning out or falling behind.
And it helps leadership map out what support you need
whether it’s another recruiter, a sourcer, or paid tools to speed things up.
Look—if you don’t call this out early, you’ll just keep taking on more and more… until something breaks.
Â
But when you walk in with a plan, you don’t just sound smart— you buy yourself breathing room.
Happy recruiting!
