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

    Appcast Xtend brings an Amazon-like experience to career sites
    May 15 2025
    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?
    May 1 2025
    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

    Dave Rosenberg of Locked on Leadership is our guest on today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast. Dave is a professional keynote speaker and leadership development consultant. He guides teams and leaders to foster a culture of accountability that accelerates results. Cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Jeanette Leeds talk with Dave about organizations large and small have a lot more in common with each other than it might at first appear. Even the U.S. Navy, in which Dave served as a Naval Flight Officer, is really just a collection of eight to 10 person teams. Yes, there are thousands and thousands of those teams, but there are massive similarities between leading and managing employees (two different things) in a massive organization like the Navy and even very small employers with just a handful of employees. Learn from Dave as he walks through integrity, accountability, culture, and leadership for organizations of all types and all sizes. Oh, and if you're a history buff, you're going to want to sign up for information about his Battle of Britain tour. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How high volume employers are handling AI assisted applications

    How high volume employers are handling AI assisted applications
    Apr 3 2025
    Our guest on today's High Volume Hiring Podcast is Kyle Samuels, former TA leader for Ernst & Young (EY), GE Aerospace, and Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc). The executive search firm that Kyle founded, Creative Talent Endeavors, uses an AI algorithm to calculate placement fees based on actual, data-driven criteria, so he does not reflexively preach against the use of AI, nor does he believe that AI is the best thing since sliced bread...for others. Instead, he believes that it best helps in the hiring process when it augments instead of displaces HR professionals. In today's episode, our cohosts, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Jeanette Leeds explore with Kyle how AI is impacting the quantity and quality of applications employers are receiving, how some are responding, and how all should respond.

  • Are all AI-generated job applications bad for employers?

    Are all AI-generated job applications bad for employers?
    Feb 20 2025
    Over the past year or two, there's been a massive increase in the frustration level by employers with respect to the high quantity and low quality of job applications. Many of those employers are blaming artificial intelligence, but is AI really to blame? And, whether it is or not, might other AI be a part of the solution? In today's episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast, cohosts Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site and Jeanette Leeds discuss the spectrum that employers are seeing. Some applications aren't generated or even assisted by any AI, probably most are assisted in some way even if it's just spelling or grammatical tools, and some are generated by bad actors who want to steal trade secrets, empty company bank accounts, or even worse. Together, Steven and Jeanette talk about how employers are detecting applications assisted or even generated by AI, what they can and should do with those, and some solutions to the problem for employers who are hiring at scale.
