A recruitment firm uses a standardized ramp for new hires: $25K in Q1, $75K in Q2, $100K in Q3, $150K in Q4. Hit $87,500 by month nine or you're a net loss. Miss $350K by year-end and the company has a conversation about whether you fit.

We've built this kind of standardized speed to productivity in the business, and it starts with the first quarter in the business, $25K, second quarter, $75K, third quarter, $100K, fourth quarter, $150K.
