  • How agentic AI is changing talent acquisition

    How agentic AI is changing talent acquisition
    2025/07/24
    For the past couple of years, listeners to the High Volume Hiring Podcast have heard cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk many times about artificial intelligence. What is it? Is it really impacting talent acquisition? What's coming? Today's guest, Mike Wolford of Lex Duo, joins us to talk about an aspect that we've barely covered: agentic AI. We can't think of a better person to talk about what it is, what it can do today, what it will be able to do tomorrow, and what TA should do to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks. After all, Mike's the guy who literally wrote the books on AI's use in recruiting and AI-driven workforce analytics, talent intelligence, and predictive hiring strategies. In addition to talking in plain English about what TA can and should use agentic AI for, we also dig into the business aspects, such as how to communicate its use to candidates. Too many organizations are using AI and yet afraid or ashamed to admit it. Instead, we should be proud of embracing technology and transparency sharing how we do so. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How to scale your engineering team with remote, international talent

    How to scale your engineering team with remote, international talent
    2025/07/10
    On today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast, Gino Ferrand, the CEO and founder of TECLA, joins us to talk about how midmarket and large organizations continue to hire engineering talent at scale that is remote and nearshore, or even offshore. Software development and other engineering work almost all went fully remote in early 2000 but, since then, employer after employer have encouraged or even forced many of those workers back to in-person work in the offices of the employers. Some workers need to come into the office a few times a month, others a few times a week, and others every day. Interestingly, that hasn't seemed to impact how those same organizations view their international contractors. Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site also talked with Gino about some of the biggest failures and successes by these organizations. We didn't expect it, but Gino essentially said that they're both related to the same part of the hiring process. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How increasing your career site conversions can save you 50% on job board spend

    How increasing your career site conversions can save you 50% on job board spend
    2025/06/26
    Today's guest on the High Volume Hiring Podcast is Sam Fitzroy, co-founder and CEO of Dalia. Some of our listeners may also know Sam from his work at was then a little start-up called Indeed and, later, TheMuse. Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site talk with Sam about the markedly different conversion rates employers see from candidates who come from organic (free) sources such as Google, Bing, and ChatGPT versus from sponsored (paid) sources such as job boards like Indeed, LinkedIn, and College Recruiter. We also talk about how it is important to treat those candidates differently. For example, Dalia's data showed that it didn't help better candidates from sponsored sources into applicants or hires, but it had a massive, beneficial impact on those from organic sources. So, for most clients, Dalia will recommend jobs and request emails and mobile numbers from candidates who are about to exit without applying if those candidates came from organic, but not sponsored, sources. Today's employers, particularly those hiring at scale, need an "all of the above" strategy, where they don't rely just on job boards, or just on SEO, or just on a better ATS experience. And products like Dalia fit very nicely into creating a better ATS experience for candidates without taking anything away from the recruiter experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The battle of the bots: Tools for screening vs applying en masse
    2025/06/12
    For decades, employers have used more and more technology that is more and more sophisticated to allow them to sift through more and more job applications. But there's been a fundamental change in the playing field: candidates are now using similar technology to allow them to apply to more and more jobs. Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site welcome to the High Volume Hiring Podcast our guest, Andrew Gadomski of Aspen Analytics. He discussed how these competing tools interact, why candidates are using tech to apply to jobs, and how employers should respond. Oh, and you won't want to miss Andrew's brilliant idea for how Hilton and Marriott Hotels might, in a way that surprised us, be a big part of the solution. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Appcast Xtend brings an Amazon-like experience to career sites

    Appcast Xtend brings an Amazon-like experience to career sites
    2025/05/15
    Our guest on today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast is Tom Chevalier, general manager of Appcast, Inc's Labs. Cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Jeanette Leeds discuss with Tom how employers can best convert into applicants those candidates who visit the employer's ATS but don't immediately apply. Across all industries, occupational fields, employers, and job boards, the typical click-to-apply percentage hovers around five percent, meaning that employers are failing to convert into applicants about 19 out of every 20 candidates who are interested enough in a job to go to the employer's career site. One solution to the problem was recently introduced by Appcast Labs: its Xtend product. Intrigued?

  • Are former federal government employees good candidates for high volume roles?

    Are former federal government employees good candidates for high volume roles?
    2025/05/01
    Today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast features a timely discussion between cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter and Jeanette Leeds. Since the start of Donald Trump's second term as U.S. President on January 20th, there's been massive, economic upheaval both within the United States and internationally. Regardless of whether one feels that's all good, all bad, or somewhere in between, hundreds of thousands of federal government employees have lost their jobs and perhaps millions will over the next year. Should employers struggling to hire at scale the employees they need look to these newly unemployed, former government workers as part of the solution? Jeanette brings some great data to the discussion, some of which surprised Steven and may surprise you as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
