Reimaging how we schedule interviews and create world-class candidate experiences

June 25, 2026 • 16 mins
Months ago, we saw a post on LinkedIn from recruiting extraordinaire Amy Miller then of Amazon and now of Portal Space Systems.

Today's guest on the High Volume Hiring Podcast, Chris Connors of candidate.fyi, commented that their product does exactly that. Our cohosts, Jeanette Leed...

Can you increase employee engagement by making benefits affordable?

June 11, 2026 • 17 mins
Employers hiring at scale often employ a lot of people who are paid hourly and whose wages are too low for them to afford health insurance. Those workers tend to be less loyal, less engaged, and more likely to quit as soon as they can find a job with health insurance. Our cohosts, Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, interview Michael Gomez of MGI International on today's episode of the High Vo...

Rethinking the funnel: High volume without high noise

April 16, 2026 • 19 mins
Today's employers receive far more applications than they did for similar roles a few years ago, and exponentially more than a few decades ago. But are the applicants worse fits than they used to be, or are we just having a harder time determining their fit? And, after they've applied but not been hired, are we wasting a valuable asset by ignoring them or failing to stay in touch with them in a way they want? Wouldn't it be better...

Turnover is high in some industries. What can you do about it?

How to prioritize your recruitment marketing budget

March 5, 2026 • 16 mins
It is often said that recruitment marketing lags consumer marketing by five to 10 years. One reason for that is that consumer marketing budgets far exceed ours. That makes it far harder for us to pilot or A/B test and that holds back innovation.

ATS, assessment, job board, and other AI-powered hiring systems have undoubtedly saved employers a lot of money and led to a lot of great, new hires. But do we really know if they're right when they tell us that candidate A is better than candidate B, and that leads us to spend more time with A than B and even more likely to hire A than B?
