Recruiters face big challenge when they have to hire a lot of people in a short amount of time. It is difficult to hire in bulk but not impossible. Here are some steps that can help:
1. For large number of recruiter you need a big hiring team- If you have to hire a thousand customer service representatives, it makes sense to bring in some of your best existing customer service representatives to help you define what you are looking for in the position and do interviews.
2. Clearly defined objective of what you are looking for- Define what characteristics your company prioritizes, to keep your culture strong.
3. Pick the right place to search for talent- you can use talent pool reports & industry reports to find best geographical places to search for talent & the best universities to find talent, if you are looking to hire recent graduates.
4. Use technology to help scan through candidates- to optimize the applications use technology like applicant tracking software to reduce the burden.
5. Structure your interview process- Structuring the process is essential when hiring a lot of people quickly
6. Mass on boarding - If you are hiring a lot of people quickly, particularly if it is all for the same position, it makes sense to do mass on boardings. That way, rather than onboarding a few people every day or on a period of time.
7. Ask for referrals from the new hires immediately- ask for referrals the minute you hire someone. In fact, it should be included in onboarding. Referred candidates can be streamlined through the process too, and data shows referrals are among the quickest and best ways to hire
8. Measure and review to reduce bottlenecks - data proved instructive and allowed the company to streamline its hiring efforts. If you collect data throughout your hiring process, you can make the same sort of data-backed decisions that will have a tremendous affect on your ability to hire at scale.
