Seeking Tech Recruitment Insights for a New Business
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out for your support as I navigate the early stages of my business, which has been operating for about a year now.
Having worked solo until recently, I’m finding it challenging to keep up with the evolving industry trends. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share some general statistics or key performance indicators (KPIs) related to acquiring new clients.
For instance, what are your benchmarks for outreach activities? Something like:
- Sending 250 emails per week
- Making 200 calls per week
- Conducting 1 mass spec per week
How do these efforts translate into new client acquisitions? Just an example, but I’m eager to understand the metrics that can help me better define my personal targets.
Thank you so much for your assistance! Your insights will be invaluable.

Hey there!
Congrats on reaching your one-year milestone with your business! It’s great that you’re looking to fine-tune your tech recruitment strategy. While the specific numbers can vary depending on the niche and market dynamics, here are some general KPIs and targets you could consider:
Sending 250 targeted emails per week is a solid start. You might aim for a response rate of around 10-15%. This means you could expect 25-37 responses weekly and possibly a few follow-ups leading to conversations or meetings.
Cold Calling:
Hitting 200 calls a week could give you a connection rate of about 5-10%, which translates to 10-20 meaningful conversations. From those, you could expect to schedule a few follow-up meetings, which can lead to client acquisition.
Social Media Engagement:
Don’t underestimate the power of social platforms like LinkedIn. Engaging with around 50-100 new connections weekly can help you broaden your network. Aim to post insightful content at least once a week to attract attention and showcase your expertise.
Networking Events:
Attend 1-2 events or meetups per month. Establishing face-to-face relationships can lead to referrals and future client opportunities.
Referrals:
With these targets, you could be looking at a conversion rate of potentially 5-10%. For instance, if you’re consistently following the above strategies, you might expect to close 2-3 clients per month, barring other factors.
Adjust these based on your results and refine as you learn what’s most effective for you. Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions as you grow!
Best,
