There’s one aspect of your high-volume hiring strategy that can’t be compromised.

Speed. And when it comes to high-volume hiring strategy, slow and steady does not win the race.

Hiring teams looking to build a framework for hiring success have to think through the solutions that will allow them to engage and screen their candidates quickly, moving them through the funnel towards an offer, all while ensuring you create a positive experience for candidates—who are also your customers. 

Below are 4 steps to build a high-volume hiring strategy built for success. 

1. Text

Hiring teams must create an easily-accessible process for their candidates. Meet your candidates where they are—on their phones.

With HireVue, candidates can text-to-apply with an easy QR scan ensuring the process starts with speed and efficiency. 

Candidates can also answer screening questions 24/7 via texting—moving qualified candidates through the funnel to the next phase in minutes.

When Beacon Health System was looking for a way to revamp their candidate experience, they turned to HireVue conversational AI to create more meaningful experiences that mirrored the employer brand. Candidates can pre-screen for roles, self-schedule interviews, and receive automatic updates. As a result, they’ve seen a 90% text campaign delivery and are able to easily check-in with new employees at 30, 60, and 90-day intervals. 

2. Set candidates up for success

HireVue Realistic Job Previews reduce 90-day turnover by providing candidates valuable insights into the role, so they have a better understanding if it’s something they really want to pursue. 

HireVue offers an assessment for any role at any level. Provide an engaging, quick assessment that will measure the skills and competencies specific to your role. Resumes don’t predict success—build a workforce today that can last through tomorrow’s challenges.

With stacked-ranking, HireVue makes identifying high-scoring candidates easy—so you can advance your candidates to the next phase quickly. And for some roles, that may be an offer. 

3. Ditch the scheduling nightmares 

Conversational AI eliminates the stress of phone screens, and HireVue self-scheduling eliminates the stress of calendar tetris. 

For candidates who have advanced to the live interview portion of the process, HireVue handles automatically inviting them to self-schedule their interview—all driven by text. 

And with automated reminders, candidates can reschedule if needed, reducing interview no-shows. Plus, HireVue provides a daily summary of scheduled interviews to hiring teams, in addition to calendar invites.

4. Treat candidates like customers

Lastly, don’t forget that for high-volume hiring teams, candidates are frequently customers. Ensure your candidate process doesn’t leave a bad taste in their mouth about your brand. 

And when you’re spending less time on manual efforts like scheduling and reviewing resumes, teams can spend more time strategizing over brand-building. Why not send a brand coupon to all your candidates—no matter the outcome of their application! 

Show that you value your candidates as people and are grateful for the time and energy they spent applying to your company.
