The latest findings from the HR Research Institute's study, HR.com's State of Seasonal, Hourly and Volume Hiring 2025, underscore the critical role of strategic planning, technology, and performance metrics in successful high-volume hiring. Organizations that lead in this area are four times more likely to find AI tools effective and three times more likely to link hiring metrics to on-the-job performance, demonstrating the value of a data-driven approach.
Key metrics such as quality of hire, conversion rate, time to hire, and retention rate are prioritized by successful organizations, with 61%, 47%, 46%, and 44% of respondents citing these respectively. This focus ensures that hires not only fill positions quickly but also contribute positively to the organization over time. The study reveals that the most effective tools in high-volume recruiting include applicant tracking systems (ATS) and artificial intelligence technologies like chatbots and SMS automation, each favored by 51% of respondents, followed by virtual job previews or simulations (45%) and employee referral tracking tools (44%).
Despite advancements, challenges such as high turnover, poor candidate-job fit, and the manual processing of large application volumes persist. The research suggests that overcoming these obstacles requires more than just technological solutions; it demands a comprehensive strategy that integrates the right data and tools. Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com, emphasizes, "High-volume hiring success hinges on the right data and the right tools," highlighting the study's conclusion that prioritizing performance-linked metrics and embracing technology can significantly enhance both the quality and efficiency of hiring processes.
For HR professionals facing increasing hiring demands, especially in industries reliant on large hourly or contract workforces, the study offers valuable insights into achieving competitive advantage through strategic high-volume hiring practices. The full findings and recommendations are available in the HR Research Institute's latest report, providing a roadmap for organizations aiming to optimize their recruitment strategies.
