Interesting question, Milan.

Purely technically, I guess every job requisition you fill *is* an individual project (it's temporary, it provides a service, there is a defined end result in filling a position).

But is that project being managed? That is the question to ask. What are the steps taken against each of the knowledge areas? In each of the process groups?

I would suggest looking up the matrix of these elements on this site and measuring those aspects against everything you do when conducting your recruitment. See how much applies.

(NB: There have been cases where specific recruitment assignments - especially for niche skills - can been treated as projects. For fun examples, see Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai or the derivatives of this excellent film.)
Thank you for the advice!
