Why Recruiters Feel Burnt Out During Frontline Hiring

Recruiter burnout is real, especially when managing high-volume frontline recruiting. You’re not just hiring one person — you’re filling dozens or even hundreds of roles across multiple sites, often under tight deadlines.

Your day might start with hundreds of applications, followed by screening, scheduling interviews, and sending reminders — all while backfilling roles that reopen as fast as they close.

Even with UKG’s powerful recruiting tools, recruiters often need more flexibility to manage this workload efficiently. That’s where AI in recruitment comes in. It helps recruiters move faster while keeping every candidate and task perfectly in sync.
