Recruiters—ever wish you had proof to say,
 “I can't take on more roles right now”?


 Here’s how to build your own capacity plan to back it up.

Step 1: Count Your Roles + Support


 Start by looking at how many roles you're already handling.
 Are you full-cycle? Do you have a sourcer or coordinator?
 The less support you have, the fewer roles you can realistically close.

Step 2: Group Roles by Complexity


 Not all roles are created equal.
 Tier them:

More Tier 3s = fewer closures per month.


Step 3: Estimate Closures

Use your past data.
 If you typically close 3 hires/month,
 and suddenly you're holding 15 roles with 8 Tier 3s…
 

🚩 That’s your sign to speak up and adjust priorities.

Step 4: Communicate It


 Turn your plan into a quick slide or tracker.
 Share it with your TA lead or hiring managers.
 

Now you're not pushing back—you’re showing up with data.
