Whether you’re a team of one processing 100 applicants in a month or a team of 20 processing 1,000 applications, high-volume recruiting can be overwhelming. And when things get hectic, processes and tools that work for more moderate hiring volumes may not cut it anymore.

Traditional recruitment typically involves creating a job listing, waiting for applications to roll in, and choosing the best fit. Sure, this method works. But it only lets you target around 30% of the global talent pool—active candidates.

Humans are (in many ways) hardwired for bias—it can be a major challenge in recruiting, social interactions, and everyday life. We all see the world through different lenses, and those lenses lead to real consequences. In many cases, these are harmless. Maybe you prefer coffee to tea or think cats are better than dogs… no big deal.

Attracting candidates is easy. Attracting the right candidates is a whole different ball game. According to Indeed research, almost half (43%) of employers struggle to attract qualified, talented candidates with their job postings. 

Every recruiter wants the ability to improve their hiring processes reliably. Maybe you want to find better-fit candidates. Or maybe you want to speed up your recruiting process so you can get high-quality talent in seats faster. The point is, there’s always something to improve upon in recruitment.

Asynchronous video interviews are becoming a more prominent part of the hiring process because they allow organizations to streamline recruitment. This approach is especially beneficial for high-volume hiring or when you want your Recruiters to prioritize their time on things other than marathon phone screens.

As more organizations move to pre-recorded video interviews, they’ve gained the benefits of a more efficient process and improved consistency for candidate evaluation—but how do you make sure that great candidates make it through the process?

Recruiting can be an overwhelming process—and stress seems to be building for recruiters and hiring teams. Research shows that 53% of recruiters feel their job was more stressful in 2023 than in the previous year.
