Digging Out of the Application Avalanche: What Every UR Leader Needs to Know

Since 2023, internship applications per role have jumped over 200%. For full-time roles, over 150%. Fueled by AI, this surge isn’t just straining capacity; it’s disrupting how Early Careers teams find and evaluate talent.

It’s now faster to apply, easier to game the system, and harder than ever to spot standout candidates. Even when teams can handle the volume, identifying talent with confidence is getting harder—and pressure to prove ROI is only growing.

At Veris Insights, we’ve spent months studying how this shift is reshaping pipelines, screening, and decision-making. Now, we’re launching a new research initiative focused on solutions.

On Wednesday, August 6 at 1PM EST, join Dr. Chelsea Schein, Head of Research Strategy, for a research-backed session built for University Recruiting leaders. She’ll share:

✅ A clear breakdown of what’s driving the surge
✅ Early findings from our ongoing research
✅ Emerging tactics teams are using to manage volume and protect quality

If you’re trying to make sense of this moment—and plan what comes next—this session is for you. Register to join us.
