Seeking Advice on Daily and Weekly Planning for Permanent Recruitment
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out for some guidance on how to effectively plan my weeks and days to maximize my chances of closing deals, both short-term and long-term.
To give you some background, I recently took a year off from recruitment and now have just under two years of experience in contract recruitment. I’ve transitioned to permanent recruitment within a new sector—healthcare—and I’m finding it challenging to set daily and weekly goals. As someone who thrives on structure and clear objectives, I thought it would be helpful to tap into your insights.
For those of you who have achieved success in permanent recruitment in recent years, could you share the daily and weekly targets you set for yourselves? Additionally, what do you consider the key factors in becoming a top performer in this field?
Thank you!
