Organizations that excel in high-volume hiring share a common approach: a well-defined strategy, backed by effective technology use and continuous metric tracking.
For example, such organizations are:
4X more likely to find AI tools effective
3X more likely to link hiring metrics to on-the-job performance
The HR Research Institute’s latest research study, HR.com’s State of Seasonal, Hourly and Volume Hiring 2025, also reveals that companies that excel at high-volume recruitment are hiring quickly and at scale—without sacrificing quality.
The research provides timely insights for HR professionals navigating growing hiring demands, especially in industries reliant on large hourly or contract workforces. With clearly defined goals, the right tech stack, and data-driven practices, high-volume hiring can become a true competitive advantage.
The top high-volume recruiting metrics cited by respondents include quality of hire (61%), conversion rate (47%), time to hire or fill (46%), and retention rate (44%). These findings highlight that measuring what matters most—how well hires perform, how efficiently candidates move through the funnel, and how long they stay—is key to long-term hiring success.
Modern high-volume recruiting also tends to rely heavily on technology. The most effective tools, according to the study, include:
Applicant tracking systems (ATS) – 51%
Artificial intelligence (e.g., chatbots, SMS automation) – 51%
Virtual job previews
