ACN: when we bill time to recruiting does it count same as unassigned or does it help utilization a bit?

The only thing that counts towards utilization is a chargeable WBS. You can play some games with PTO to reduce your number of possible chargeable days - but training, BD, recruiting, unassigned all reduce chargeability.
Recruiting IS better optically than unassigned though. Goals are to both hit chargeability target and have unassigned equal = zero for the non-chargeable hours. Non-chargeable hours looked at closer manager and above.
