How to set recruitment KPIs for your team, or let AI suggest them
Assign KPIs to a team or a user with weekly or monthly targets, or give AI your annual revenue target and it suggests achievable KPIs for the whole desk.
KPIs are how a desk knows what good looks like each week. Recruitly lets you set them by hand, or start from the revenue you want this year and let AI work back to the activity targets that get you there.
