Our approach
The recruiter operating manual
We captured what the top recruiters actually did, step by step, and turned it into a Playbook new hires could run from day one.
- Shadowed the three best recruiters for two weeks
- Documented every stage: intake → sourcing → qualification → close
- Built an onboarding path with weekly checkpoints
- AI-assisted candidate briefs integrated into the workflow
The outcome
From 3-month ramp-up to week-one contribution
