Frequently Asked Questions

What is a recruitment plan?

A recruitment plan is a structured document that captures how a company will hire for a specific role, team or hiring sprint. It includes the roles to hire, ideal candidate profile, sourcing channels, interview process, scorecards, timeline and budget.

What should a recruitment plan include?

A complete recruitment plan includes role definitions and headcount, ideal candidate profile (skills, experience, attributes), sourcing channels (referrals, job boards, agencies), interview process and stages, scorecards for each stage, decision criteria, timeline, budget and offer strategy.

How do you create a recruitment plan?

Start with the business need - what roles, why and by when. Define the ideal candidate profile precisely. Choose sourcing channels based on where the candidates are. Design a structured interview process with scorecards. Set timelines. Get hiring manager and recruiter alignment before launching.

What is the difference between a recruitment plan and a hiring strategy?

A hiring strategy is high-level - it covers the overall approach to talent, employer brand and how the company competes for people. A recruitment plan is tactical - it covers a specific set of roles or a hiring sprint. Strategies guide; plans execute.

How do you measure recruitment effectiveness?

Common metrics include time-to-fill, time-to-hire, source-of-hire performance, interview-to-offer ratio, offer acceptance rate, quality-of-hire (90-day and 1-year performance) and cost-per-hire. The most important metric is quality-of-hire - everything else is a means to that end.
