A comprehensive study by HR.com's HR Research Institute reveals that organizations with effective high-volume hiring capabilities are nearly eight times more likely to have a dedicated strategy compared to those without such approaches. The research, detailed in HR.com's State of High-volume and Hourly Hiring 2024, identifies critical practices that drive success in mass recruitment initiatives across industries where large-scale hiring has become increasingly common.
The findings demonstrate that 65% of successful organizations focus on automating as much of the recruitment process as possible while removing barriers to applying. Additionally, 64% prioritize developing a compelling employer brand and value proposition to attract quality candidates at scale. Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com, emphasized the growing prevalence of high-volume recruitment and the challenges many organizations face due to lack of strategy and appropriate tools, noting that those who invest in well-defined approaches and leverage effective technologies achieve far greater success.
Outsourcing emerges as a significant strategy, with 52% of organizations choosing to outsource at least part of their high-volume recruitment process. This approach allows companies to tap into external expertise and resources when managing the complexities of large-scale hiring. The primary partners for outsourcing include staffing agencies at 62%, job boards and aggregators at 57%, and temporary employment services at 45%.
The research implications extend across various business sectors, particularly those requiring substantial workforce expansion. Organizations adopting strategic approaches to high-volume recruitment are positioned to gain competitive advantages through improved hiring efficiency, reduced time-to-fill positions, and ultimately better quality hires. For HR professionals and business leaders, the report offers valuable insights into best practices that can significantly enhance the ability to attract and process large numbers of candidates effectively.
As the job market continues to evolve, effective high-volume recruitment management is becoming an increasingly important differentiator for businesses. Those investing in robust strategies and leveraging appropriate tools and partnerships are better equipped to build stronger, more resilient workforces capable of meeting demands in today's fast-paced business environment.
