Rethinking the funnel: High volume without high noise | ep119

Today’s employers receive far more applications than they did for similar roles a few years ago, and exponentially more than a few decades ago. But are the applicants worse fits than they used to be, or are we just having a harder time determining their fit?

And, after they’ve applied but not been hired, are we wasting a valuable asset by ignoring them or failing to stay in touch with them in a way they want? Wouldn’t it be better to hire them when we do have a need that fits their competencies, interests, and values?

Today’s guest on the High Volume Hiring Podcast is Ryan Kohler, founder of the isolved Talent Acquisition (formerly ApplicantPro) ATS, Refer.IO, and AI4Teams.io. Cohost Jeanette Leeds was on vacation and so left cohost Steven Rothberg in charge. We’ll have to see how well he managed.
