The latest research from HR.com's HR Research Institute (HRRI) sheds light on the critical role of strategy in high-volume hiring, a practice becoming increasingly common across industries. According to the 'HR.com's State of High-volume and Hourly Hiring 2024' report, organizations that implement effective high-volume hiring strategies are nearly eight times more likely to succeed than those without. Despite this, the adoption of such strategies remains low among companies.
Key findings from the report indicate that successful organizations prioritize automation in the recruitment process (65%) and focus on developing a compelling employer brand (64%). Outsourcing parts of the recruitment process is another strategy employed by 52% of organizations, with staffing agencies, job boards, and temporary employment services being the most common partners.
Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, highlighted the challenges organizations face in high-volume recruitment without a strategic approach and the right tools. The report suggests that businesses adopting these strategic practices can expect improved hiring efficiency, reduced time-to-fill positions, and higher quality hires, providing a competitive edge in the talent market.
For HR professionals and business leaders, the report offers actionable insights into optimizing high-volume recruitment through automation, reducing application barriers, and enhancing employer branding. Outsourcing is presented as a viable option for companies lacking the internal resources or expertise to manage large-scale hiring effectively.
As the demand for talent grows, especially in sectors requiring mass hiring, the ability to strategically manage high-volume recruitment is becoming a key differentiator. Organizations that invest in robust strategies and leverage appropriate tools and partnerships are better positioned to build resilient workforces capable of thriving in today's dynamic business environment.
