In this segment, the speaker identifies the most critical Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for recruitment teams as the number of first‑stage interviews conducted each week. For permanent recruitment, achieving around three interviews per week is presented as a comfortable target. For contract recruiters, the speaker advises a flexible range of two to four interviews weekly, acknowledging the variability of contract work. Maintaining this interview cadence is framed as essential for keeping a steady pipeline of candidates, and the speaker emphasizes that first‑stage interviews should be the primary metric against which recruitment teams are measured.

The kind of KPI that's most important to me in my world is your first stage interviews per week. So even when I was doing permanent recruitment, I knew that if I was getting 3 interviews per week, I was hitting my target quite comfortably. So contract recruiter, you're probably not going to average 3 a week because you might have 3 or 4 jobs one week and nothing next couple of weeks. So we like to kind of stay between 2 and 4 per week. That gives you kind of a pipeline of candidates coming through each week as well. First stage interviews would be like the key KPI that I would, I would measure my team against.
