High-volume hiring has become a hamster wheel. Recruiters are under pressure to move fast, candidates are lost in impersonal experiences, and the same problems keep repeating: burnout, bias, and short-lived hires.

It’s time to break the cycle. How can organizations move from filling roles fast to building workforces that last?

The problem isn’t the people—it’s the process. Many organizations have simply automated what’s already clunky and ineffective, speeding up decisions without actually improving outcomes. It’s time to challenge old metrics of “time-to-fill” and rethink what effective hiring really looks like in today’s market.

In this month’s Talent Table, we’ll unpack how traditional high-volume hiring models need to evolve and what leading organizations are doing to adapt their approach. Our guests will discuss how new strategies and emerging technologies are helping companies achieve higher-quality hires, reduce attrition, and build more agile, productive workforces.

What we’ll cover:

• Why conventional high-volume hiring processes fail candidates, recruiters, and businesses alike.
• Ways to reduce recruiter burnout and improve efficiency without sacrificing human connection.
• How legacy hiring metrics like “time-to-fill” and “cost-per-hire” create false trade-offs between speed and quality.
• How organizations can move from reactive hiring to proactive talent engagement at scale.
• The business risks of “fast but flawed” hiring—and how to avoid them.
