Onboard new recruiters faster

Last updated 2026-10-22

Short answer

Onboard a new recruiter by giving them a small bench, a daily match queue to review, role sourcing guides for the technologies they cover and a weekly review with a manager, so they learn from real requirements immediately.

New recruiters usually learn technology vocabulary slowly because they only see requirements as they happen to arrive. A structured queue teaches faster.

Week one: vocabulary

Have them read the sourcing guides for the roles on their desk and the glossary for contract terms, then compare a guide against live requirements.

Week two: a small bench

Assign five candidates. The recruiter reviews matches for each and explains to a manager why each fits or not.

Week three: submissions

Move to queueing tailored resumes and submitting with manager review.

Ongoing

Use the activity summary in reports to see what the recruiter is doing and where to coach.
