Ever been asked, “How many people can we hire this year?” and felt your eye twitch? You’re not alone. In this session, Cathy Liu (Co-Founder, Caro) and Carlos Rodriguez-Muñoz (Data Analyst, Recruiting Analytics) break down the surprisingly complex answer to one of recruiting’s simplest and most stressful questions.
Viewers follow the full journey from forecasting hiring demand to calculating realistic recruiter capacity and learn why the gap between the two matters more than most teams realize. The session covers how to forecast demand using net new roles, rollovers, and backfills, calculate recruiter productivity based on your own data rather than misleading benchmarks, and balance the art and science of capacity planning.
With real examples of what happens when demand exceeds capacity (spoiler: those “lost” hires in January haunt you all year), Cathy and Carlos provide frameworks to help RecOps leaders have clearer, data-backed conversations with leadership.
