THE HIRING CAPACITY CHECKER
CAN YOUR HIRING TEAM ACTUALLY KEEP UP?
Include anyone genuinely spending time on hiring — not just people with "recruiter" in their title.
Underwriting, pricing, actuarial, senior tech, leadership — roles that take longer to fill properly.
You've got room to breathe
On paper, your team can handle this.

How we work this out
We use an indicative benchmark of 25 hires a year per recruiter for standard-volume roles, dropping to 12 a year for senior, specialist or hard-to-fill roles — the kind that dominate insurance, insurtech and financial services hiring. Your team's real capacity will move with process maturity, hiring manager responsiveness and tech stack, so treat this as a sense-check, not a scientific fact. It's usually a fairly honest one.
Also juggling contractors alongside permanent hiring? Total Talent Solutions brings both under one view. Or if you'd rather answer a few different questions, try the full Solution Finder.
