In this brief dialogue, Speaker A explains that their focus on efficiency led them to realize that improving their understanding of candidates could reduce the number of interviews needed. They note that achieving a high interview‑to‑placement ratio (currently requiring 40‑50 interviews per month to meet billing goals) is less effective than lowering that ratio by better candidate insight. Hishem Azzouz responds by prompting a shift from sheer interview volume to a strategy that secures fewer, higher‑quality interviews with a strong likelihood of resulting in placements.

I was all focused on efficiency. And the only way I found I could be more efficient was by understanding everything better. So I'd have to do less because look at my interview to placement ratio, I am going to need to get 40, 50 interviews a month just to be able to bill where I want to bill. And I found it a lot easier to bring that ratio down than I did to hit those higher numbers.
Rather than getting more interviews, how can I get less but make sure those aren't guaranteed but are going to be— good chance that that's going to lead to a placement.
