I am looking for validation here. Is my workload too much? Working for a healthcare organization, where most of my openings are RNs, CNAs, retail and Corporate. I am sole recruiter for 60 vacancies, in charge from req to offer. Also managing all employee merit increases, status changes, promotions, position changes etc for 500 employees, day to day HR inquiries, Workers Comp, and performance review management. (I used to be just “Recruitment” but as people leave, they just divvy out their job).

What...this isn't even humanely possible. How many vacancies are there in total?

Way too much! In my last role I had anywhere from 100-140 and honestly had zero work life balance due to this. Biggest word of advice (if you’re not already), do not work over time to keep up. I did this (recovering work-a-holic lol), and the burn out was REAL.

This is insane, also you are doing like 3 different roles in one, leave asap!! Sending strength through!

Time to move on! No discussion necessary. I’m sure the team knows it too, but will pile it on because you seem to get the work done and save the company money because they only need you instead of the additional 3 people they should hire.

WAYYYY too much. Even if you were just recruiting I feel like that many requisitions would only be feasible if you had (2) admins for preemployment screening and onboarding AND you were working with agency recruiters

We do have someone dedicated to onboarding, but this person also does other things, and has to onboard all the new hires and is feeling it too.

I made 42 offers in March and am up to 28 so far in April.

I’m thinking it’s time to skedaddle.

That's an insane workload. 20 vacancies is a lot for one person; you're in charge of three times that amount?? Plus all those other general HR duties as well? And I can't imagine you're being compensated fairly for all that extra work, either. Time to look for a new position, OP. That's wild.

Do they divvy up their pay too when people leave?? WAY too many reqs about 2.5-3 times the high end of the standard plus admin tasks.

Get yourself recruited into another job. Slavery was abolished.

That's way too much. Depending on the industry you should be at approximately 5-8 people with a organization of that size.

The sweet spot vacancy wise is 30-40 without the additional HR work! My advice is to push back otherwise they’ll exploit you, threaten to leave if not sorted, if not leave!

30-40 is still high unless they are multiple seats for one requisition.

I'm working in a company that I like, but I'm been quite underpaid. We recruited a new recruiter with a salary 25% more than the one I'm in. I've been approached by other companies, but I wouldn't like to leave, the only reason I would consider moving to a new job is the salary. Should I be open and discuss it with my LM? The formal salary review process is approaching in 2 months, but no way I could get a good salary increase in the formal process, I believe the max could be 6%-7%.

Is it common for to get asked to bring personal info such as ID’s SSN cards and void check to the first formal interview.

How do you feel about that ?
