In this brief conversation, Hishem Azzouz highlights time management as a critical yet often overlooked strength for recruiters, noting that many view it as a weakness. He affirms that mastering it can provide a competitive edge, especially in the current hiring climate. Speaker B shares a concrete habit from their teaching background: maintaining a numbered to‑do list and categorising tasks as A‑jobs (high priority) or B‑jobs (lower priority). Hishem acknowledges this approach, confirming that such A/B prioritisation is a useful framework for recruiters. The exchange underscores how teaching‑derived organisational tactics can be directly transferred to recruitment to improve efficiency and outcomes.

Something that a lot of recruiters struggle with is time management. It's often something that most recruiters would just say like they're not good at, or it's a weakness of theirs. So you having that as a strength massively helps, particularly at this stage.
I used to always do this with, um, when I was a teacher, is I'd have a list of things I need to do and I'd number them. And I feel like I do the same thing with recruitment now. I don't know if other recruiters do that.
Yeah, you've got like A jobs, B jobs, they prioritise it that way.
