Use cases

When recruiters should use this tool

Decide whether to accept, pause, or renegotiate a weak job order.

Focus sourcing on roles with better fill probability and revenue impact.

Best practices

How to make the output more useful

Do not let fee value alone decide priority; client responsiveness and exclusivity matter.

Re-score jobs weekly because urgency, fillability, and client commitment can change.

Pair priority score with job-order intake quality before assigning recruiter capacity.

FAQ

Questions recruiters ask about this tool

What makes a job order high priority?

High-priority job orders usually combine strong fee value, urgent hiring need, responsive client feedback, realistic requirements, exclusivity, and strategic account value.

How often should agencies re-score job orders?

Weekly scoring works well for active desks, but urgent or stalled roles may need review during daily standups.

Should low-priority job orders be rejected?

Not always. Low scores can trigger a client conversation about salary, requirements, exclusivity, feedback speed, or search commitment.
