  • What is working in recruiting in 2026?

    What is working in recruiting in 2026?
    2026/07/23
    It's fair to say that there's a lot wrong with recruitment in 2026, for candidates, employers, and others. But it's not all bad. In fact, some of what is working has only started to work well this year. Today's guest is David Noe, human resources and brand advocacy manager for Payroll Partners, Inc and host of the SpeakEasy HR podcast. David brings to the discussion a wealth of knowledge from the world of recruiting by small- and medium-sized businesses, some of which are rapidly scaling up by hiring dozens or even hundreds over a few months. And he also brings the perspective from the other side of the table: the candidates who are impacted by the recruiting practices of employers of all sizes. Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site share some of their experiences, as well as lot of envy for the fine collection of bourbon bottles within easy reach of David should a little celebrating be warranted.

  • Reimaging how we schedule interviews and create world-class candidate experiences

    Reimaging how we schedule interviews and create world-class candidate experiences
    2026/06/25
    Months ago, we saw a post on LinkedIn from recruiting extraordinaire Amy Miller then of Amazon and now of Portal Space Systems. In the post, Amy asked why we can track a pizza delivery from Domino's but ATS don't allow candidates to track where they're at in the hiring process. Today's guest on the High Volume Hiring Podcast, Chris Connors of candidate.fyi, commented that their product does exactly that. Our cohosts, Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, talk with Chris about the benefits to the candidates and employers of adding a candidate portal on top of the existing ATS. Yes, candidates can use them to track their progress, but also schedule interviews, watch employment branding videos, submit documents, and more. In 1897, Francis Church wrote, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause", in an editorial in the New York newspaper, The Sun. Turns out, in 2026, yes Virginia, we can both improve the efficiency of how we hire while also making that hiring experience far better for candidates.

  • Can you increase employee engagement by making benefits affordable?

    Can you increase employee engagement by making benefits affordable?
    2026/06/11
    Employers hiring at scale often employ a lot of people who are paid hourly and whose wages are too low for them to afford health insurance. Those workers tend to be less loyal, less engaged, and more likely to quit as soon as they can find a job with health insurance. Our cohosts, Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, interview Michael Gomez of MGI International on today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast. His previous role was VP HR at Tasty Restaurant Group, a franchisee of Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin-Robbins, Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut with 7,000 employees in 23 U.S. states. At Tasty, Michael contracted with WorXsiteHR, creator of Healthworx, a no-cost medical plan managed by a non-profit, to allow lower income, part-time, and seasonal workers access to useable and affordable healthcare. Michael loves how the plan is ERISA and Section 125 compliant, no-cost to both employee and employer, and generates substantial employer FICA tax savings.

  • The myth of the "clean" record: Why your background check policy is flawed

    The myth of the "clean" record: Why your background check policy is flawed
    2026/05/28
    Emily Baxter, director of non-profit WE ARE ALL CRIMINALS, joins the High Volume Hiring Podcast to discuss the impact on people and employers of 1/4 of the U.S. population having criminal convictions and the opportunities that exist to employers of employing these people. Not only do these people deserve a second chance when many of us have had far more chances than that, but the data show that they often outperform the other 3/4 who also committed crimes but didn't get caught. Organizations like MOD Pizza and Dave's Killer Bread understand that excluding from their workforce people who happened to have been caught is detrimental not just to society, but to their businesses. Employers should take the convictions into account and refrain from placing someone recently convicted of embezzlement into a financial role, but hiring those with convictions leads to more a more productive workforce with lower turnover and, therefore, reduced recruitment costs.

  • How technology is helping universities overcome hiring challenges

    How technology is helping universities overcome hiring challenges
    2026/05/14
    Michael Ang, founder of advertising agency, JobElephant, is the guest on today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast to discuss how colleges and universities are making better use of technology to overcome some of their hiring challenges. When one thinks of a post-secondary institution hiring, they may think just about professors, but universities are like little towns and typically employ hundreds to thousands of support staff including administrators, food service, lodging, security, maintenance, information technology, accounting, and more. Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site discuss with Michael whether all of that hiring, some of it high-volume, is all stuck in the 1990s. Some might think so. And they'd be wrong to think so.

    2026/04/30
    Trent Cotton, the Head of Talent Insights & Analyst Relations for ICIMS, returns to the High Volume Hiring Podcast to discuss a new report about how employers and candidates are using AI. Some believe that all employers are using it and using it well. Some believe that all candidates are using it and using it well. Is the reality, however, something quite different? Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site dig into the findings of the report with Trent. In addition to Trent giving some well-deserved credit to contributors Madeline Laurano and Tim Sackett, some of what is discussed may come as no surprise to you, but some will surprise even the most knowledgeable as well-founded but somewhat dated perception is often quite different current reality.
