Recruiter Metrics on Yourself?

Do you know how many tries it takes you to make a contact with a new candidate?  No, I'm not talking about the averages in the industry.  No, I'm not talking about what you think.  I mean can you tell exactly how many emails and phone calls you spent on your last 10 hires?

There should be no more detail of exactly what it takes YOU to make a hire, then the measurements you take on your performance yourself. 

If your ATS tracks your activities like it should, you will be way ahead of the game.  Of course, if a recruiter doesn't use the tool correctly, it won't help you.  Count up your numbers.

Track everything.  Look at the numbers in detail.  Look for the patterns.  Do you make more hirers if you use the phone more then emails?  What about if you meet the candidate face to face?  Don't think you know, look at the facts. 

Take this new found evaluation and then recreate that environment.  Spend your time doing the things that make YOU more successful.
