Agency recruiters: How many positions do you usually handle at the same time? I’m curious to understand the typical workload for an agency recruiter, especially in cases where the roles aren’t exclusive.

The number of jobs an agency recruiter is working on at once can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the agency, the industry they specialize in, and the complexity of the roles. On average, many recruiters might juggle anywhere from 5 to 20 positions at a time.
If the roles are not exclusive and are in high demand, this number can increase, sometimes reaching upwards of 30 or more openings. However, managing too many roles can impact the quality of the candidate experience and the thoroughness of the search. Each recruiter has their own approach to balance workload while ensuring that they can effectively source and engage candidates for each position.
What’s your experience with managing multiple roles?
