How to prioritize a competing req load

Every recruiter's list of open roles grows faster than it shrinks, and each one arrives marked urgent. Putting in more hours doesn't solve that. Choosing an order does.

Javen Holcombe, Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at ZoomInfo, carries a load like that every week. In this session he opens up how he plans it: what he weighs when a new role lands on his desk, how he ranks it against the ones already there, and what he does when a hiring manager's priorities move.

Attendees will take away:

• A ranking method for open reqs that holds up as the list keeps growing
• The questions to answer about a role before a single candidate is sourced
• Signals that a req needs more of your attention, and signals that it doesn't
• A weekly reset for priorities that builds on last week instead of starting from zero
• Where stronger candidate data speeds up the work while you keep the final say

For recruiters, sourcers and TA leaders who want a method they can try the following Monday.
