Enter the number of candidates a recruiter handles per month and the average number of interviews per candidate into the calculator to determine the recruiter’s capacity in terms of interviews per month.

Recruiter Capacity Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the recruiter capacity.

RC = C * I

Variables:

  • RC is the recruiter capacity (interviews per month)
  • C is the number of candidates a recruiter handles per month
  • I is the average number of interviews per candidate

To calculate the recruiter capacity, multiply the number of candidates a recruiter handles per month by the average number of interviews per candidate.

What is Recruiter Capacity?

Recruiter capacity is a measure of the number of interviews a recruiter can handle in a given month. It is an important metric for human resources departments to understand the workload and efficiency of their recruitment team. This capacity helps in planning and ensuring that the recruitment process is not bottlenecked due to overcapacity or underutilization of resources.

How to Calculate Recruiter Capacity?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Recruiter Capacity.


  1. First, determine the number of candidates a recruiter handles per month (C).
  2. Next, determine the average number of interviews per candidate (I).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = RC = C * I.
  4. Finally, calculate the Recruiter Capacity (RC) in terms of interviews per month.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
