Ep 323 - You Can't Manage What You Don't Measure

What if improving your recruitment performance wasn't about working harder, but simply paying closer attention.

By simply tracking a single activity you could change your results, without complex dashboards or endless KPI meetings.

I have Type 1 diabetes and by changing one simple habit I had the best blood glucose result in years. That experience sparked an important question:

Rather than obsessing over outcomes you can't fully control, recruiters should focus on measuring the activities that lead to success. My suggestion is that you start tracking one metric: first interviews. By simply recording every first interview you secure, you'll naturally become more aware of your activity, identify slow days faster, and unconsciously shift your behaviour towards creating more opportunities.

Tune in for:
👉 Why measuring behaviour changes behaviour
👉 The surprising lesson recruitment can learn from diabetes management.
👉 Why first interviews are one of the most valuable KPIs on a recruitment desk.
