Stopping the Stall: How to Keep High-Volume Hiring on Track

JOIN US March 18, 2026

A webinar with Vetty + iCIMS: March 18th at 2 PM ET

High-volume hiring doesn’t break because candidates aren’t interested. It breaks in the waiting.


In the gap between application and day one, momentum can stall fast. Slow follow-ups, disconnected systems, and sluggish screening create friction at exactly the wrong time. Every delay chips away at candidate confidence, and once doubt sets in, drop-off is sure to follow. Thankfully, there’s a better way.


On March 18, 2026, join Vetty’s Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Meehan and iCIMS’ Head of Talent Acquisition Insights & Analyst Relations, Trent Cotton, for a practical conversation on how to keep candidates engaged and your hiring process moving. You’ll see how conversational AI, intelligent ATS automation, and fast, reliable background checks work together to eliminate friction and protect momentum from first click to first shift.


In this session, you’ll uncover:

  • Why candidate drop-off happens.
  • How to keep candidates engaged at every step.
  • Practical ways to tighten your hiring process without adding complexity.
