Why high volume hiring needs a different approach

Too many recruiters believe attrition is inevitable in high volume roles — so they overhire to cover the expected churn. On the surface, it looks like a practical fix. In reality, it’s an expensive way to paper over the cracks.

Overhiring drives up costs, drags down candidate experience, and leaves hiring managers frustrated when the wrong people are cycling in and out of the workforce.

The truth: attrition doesn’t have to be sky-high. With a structured high volume recruitment process that focuses on hiring criteria alignment and realistic job previews, you can prevent mismatches before day one. That means fewer wasted hires, faster time-to-fill, and more stable teams.
