Screening at scale - how to handle high applicant volumes fairly and efficiently

Applicant volumes are rising. Summer recruitment programs are already underway. The old way of screening: manually reviewing CVs, chasing responses, relying on gut feeling doesn't hold up when the numbers get serious.

In this session, we'll start with a concrete case: how JYSK screens large candidate volumes while keeping the process structured, fair, and manageable. Then we open it up — what works, what doesn't, and what you can take back to your own team.

What we'll cover

• How JYSK handles high-volume screening — the setup, the results, and the lessons learned
• Why fairness and efficiency aren't a tradeoff — and what structured screening actually looks like in practice
• The role of AI in screening at scale — what it should and shouldn't do
• Open discussion — your questions, your challenges
