Volume Recruitment and High-Volume Recruitment

Volume recruitment is typically undertaken when large numbers of customer-facing sales, service and support roles need to be filled. Frontline roles of this nature are critical for business success, as these individuals will personify your brand for customers.

A distinction in scale is often made between traditional volume recruitment where an organization is aiming to take on around 200 staff and high-volume recruitment which can involve recruiting over 20,000 candidates worldwide.

Five Key Challenges in Volume Recruitment

From our experience most volume recruiters face one or more challenges from the list below in their volume and high-volume recruitment processes:

Consistently recruit good people who meet the requirements of the role and fit the values of your organization.
Make your recruitment process highly efficient.
Create an extraordinary candidate experience.
Think ‘mobile-first’ to be accessible to your candidates.
Your selection process has to be acceptable to the business.

Does that sound familiar?

Volume Recruitment to Cover Bulk Recruitment Needs

Volume recruitment can also be undertaken to cover bulk recruitment needs or hiring spikes caused, for example, by:

Seasonal surges - Employers such as retailers, hotels and hospitality companies, theme parks, leisure centers and travel & tourism organizations will often undertake seasonal recruitment, usually of temporary or part-time staff, to cover busy periods.

Business development needs - Some employers such as call centers, marketing groups and research agencies will ramp-up their staffing levels when they win a significant new contract. Or, in the case of pharmaceutical companies, when new product lines are created.

Expansion - When companies open an office or a shared service center in a new country - or in a new location - they may recruit large volumes of new staff in permanent roles.

When faced with the avalanche of applications that stems from a high volume of candidates, recruiters have to somehow select the right people - and screen out the wrong applicants. Maintaining this consistent level of quality across your employee base, when you’re recruiting in volume, is a considerable challenge.

The ‘secret’ lies in finding the optimum person-job match - and being able to predict which candidates will be successful in the role.
