Step 1: Speed
Be it companies or the candidates, they do not depend on one source to fill their positions or land them jobs respectively; they have multiple sources to achieve what they want along with a quick turnaround time.

Step 4: Reduce regular disturbances
Always try to reduce as many interruptions as possible; it can be from your friends at work/boss. You had made plans and blocked your calendar for your day so don’t let anything change it. You may ask them to come again once you are finished or maybe you can go to them to discuss but only once you have completed your work.
Step 5: Take regular breaks
Studies always insist that taking regular breaks in between work hours had always improved the productivity of an individual and we too would suggest the same. Hence, it is very essential for individuals to take regular breaks so that he/she can come back with a fresh mind and will help them focus at work better. If you are working for straight hours, you will put in more hours but less productivity.
Step 6: Utilize your “Odd-lot” time well
“Odd-lot” time is nothing but the time when you are stuck in traffic, waiting at airport, parked in a reception room or any other such instances. It is essential to utilize that time well for reading a book either physically or on Kindle, listening to a speaker on YouTube, learning a new “How-to” thing, it can be anything but should be helpful to you in some or other way.

Having great time management skill is essential because you need to focus right on your priorities impact wise and only then you will be a successful recruiter.
