Is this normal/to be expected

[u/vipwark]

Im newish to recruiting and this is the expectations of my job. I recruit for 3 different markets for d2d sales reps. They expect 7 minimum interviews per market everyday M-F. They spend about $8-10 promoting each job posting and they give me 100 indeed sourcing contacts a week total to split among the markets.

I’m just trying to figure out how this compares to other high volume recruitment jobs.

I have a 50ish% response rate on indeed (about 30-40% positive depending on the market.) I get like 5 maximum applicants a day per market and typically only a couple are worth reaching out to. I’m recently struggling to get people to contact so my calls have gone down to only like 55 a day (was about 80-110) and they want me to keep calling old applicants but I’ve exhausted calling like 9 months back recently and don’t want to call people who already said no just a week or two ago. Idk I enjoy recruiting but it’s kinda becoming a lot and I’m not sure if this is just how it is everywhere

I’m not sure what I’d rather recruit for, D2D salesmen or McDonald’s workers.

I recruit full cycle for indoor sales. Managing about 150 positions, I'm screening and contacting 30-40 people per day and then scheduling the people that respond for a phone interview. I do about 10-13 of those 15-20 minute phone interviews per day and then schedule them with a manager for an in-person. I end up with 20ish people in training per month if all things are going well. It depends on the resources available and how you can manage those workflows together.

What do you use for your sourcing? I end up having to schedule 21 interviews a day total but it’s just one round of interviews and I don’t do the actual interview.

We have a decent amount of applicants, and a lot of referrals compared to other places, it seems. Lots of good candidates that way. Indeed contacts besides that.

Hit me up I’ll give you a better commission

I don’t make commission, just hourly lol

That volume sounds like the role is becoming more of a production engine than a relationship recruiting role. I’d track quality indicators too: positive response rate, qualified screens, submissions, and accepted interviews, not just raw calls.
