Plan for High-Volume Recruiting

Use project management principles to navigate and plan for high-volume recruiting.

  • A tight labor market already makes regular cycle recruitment challenging. A high-volume recruiting 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).

Executive Summary

Critical Insight

  • Balancing the candidate experience and hiring manager needs with process efficiency may seem impossible. Use project management principles to make it achievable.

Impact & Result

  • Be proactive and leverage project management principles. HVR projects have clear timelines that make them optimal for taking on a project management approach.
  • A plan for high-volume recruitment processes will help balance the need to have an efficient process and a good candidate experience and meeting hiring manager needs.

Research & Tools

1. Define the scope and complexity of the project

Determine the breadth, complexity, and constraints of the HVR project in order to set project goals and metrics.

2. Assess and customize the talent acquisition process for HVR

Customize the TA process to address HVR needs, then identify external communication and additional materials needed.

3. Develop the project plan

Prepare a business case for stakeholders, and determine the project team roles and communication methods before launching the project.
