Plan for High-Volume Recruitment
Use project management principles to navigate and plan for high-volume recruitment.
- A tight labor market already makes regular cycle recruitment challenging. A high-volume recruitment project not only increases the amount of requisitions a team will have to fill but also amplifies the impact of regular recruitment challenges (e.g. poor candidate experience, inconsistent hiring results, inefficient talent acquisition process).
