Being new to high-volume recruiting, their main challenges were lengthy candidate requirements and navigating tight deadlines. This case study can act as a roadmap for companies in similar situations. Read on to see how they resolved these challenges. [Juggle Lengthy Candidate Requirements](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/transformation-page-gated?hsLang=en-us#juggle) [Navigate Tight Deadlines and Restraints](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/transformation-page-gated?hsLang=en-us#form) [Streamline the Interview & Clearance Process](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/transformation-page-gated?hsLang=en-us#form) [Resolution Increased Performance & Retention](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/transformation-page-gated?hsLang=en-us#form) ## Juggle Lengthy Candidate Requirements and Equipment Shortages High-volume recruiting to this scale is a new challenge for this company, making it difficult to know where to begin. The short time frame causes added pressure to hire candidates quickly, which could result in underqualified hires if done inefficiently. #### Underlying problems at-a-glance: ![](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hubfs/placeholder%20bullet.svg) New to this level of high-volume recruiting and don’t know where to start ![checklisticon](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hubfs/checklisticon.svg) Lengthy list of candidate requirements makes it challenging to find qualified hires ![supplychainicon](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hubfs/supplychainicon.svg) Supply chain issues due to the pandemic make it difficult to receive new laptops ![candidatesearchicon](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hubfs/candidatesearchicon.svg) Short time frame creates added pressure to hire candidates quickly ![shortageicon](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hubfs/shortageicon.svg) Equipment shortage; lack of returned laptops to give to new hires On top of the short time frame to create an efficient recruiting process, there are many requirements that make it difficult to find qualified hires, including: - Having a Bachelor’s degree - Willing to work weekends - Waiting through a lengthy onboarding process due to background and security requirements - Being fully vaccinated - Being open to a long-term contract ![two-col-img](https://resources.sparksgroupinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/two-col-img.png?width=376&height=240&name=two-col-img.png) Additionally, there is an equipment shortage due to the number of contractors not returning laptops promptly.
