In this podcast excerpt, a permanent recruiter (Speaker A) outlines his daily routine tailored to the German market. He starts work around 7–7:15 am, spends the first half‑hour planning the day using Trello or a diary, and then works in four timed sprints: 8‑10 am for business development (BD), 10‑12 pm for candidate sourcing/resourcing, a lunch break from 12‑1 pm, a second BD block from 1‑3 pm, and the remainder of the day for additional resourcing. The schedule is built on a pre‑made to‑do list prepared the previous day, allowing flexibility for overnight changes. He emphasizes a 50/50 split between BD and resourcing as an effective balance. The segment ends with a sponsor acknowledgment.

So normally I would get into the office for around 7 AM, 7:15, because obviously our market is Germany and they're one hour ahead. And between 7 and 7:30, I'll plan my day. So I'll use Trello or like a diary, and then I'll work in sprints. So we'll have like 4 sprints. And yeah, like between 7, 7:30, I'll be planning my day. I'll have like a to-do list, so I'll know exactly what I need to do. Because that to-do list would have been done the day before. And I would obviously have an idea of what I want to do from the day before. It's just about like implementing them in the morning. So I would plan it out, change anything if anything happened overnight, and I'll set up my sprint for like 8 to 10 would be a lot of BD. So that would be BD. And then 10 to 12 would be candidates, resourcing, and then lunch will be from 12 to 1, and then 1 to 3 BD, and then free till end of the day, back into resourcing. So I know it's quite vague, but, um, why don't you ask friends? It works, it works, and it's the perfect balance of getting 50/50.
