57 Hirevue Testimonials

“When we started looking at Modern Hire, it was clear it could help us keep our candidate promises. Especially in the areas of being fast and accessible, and making sure the hiring process is informative and fair.”

"Just seeing how quickly this all manifested was absolutely incredible. There were times we’d send out interview requests, and by the time we got back into the system, we already had responses. Sometimes you wait a week just to schedule an interview, but with Montage, we could get completed interviews back within a matter of hours.”

“That first year, we had 50% more adoption than we thought we would. Once our investment bankers discovered it would save them time and give them more access to the candidates, it was very effective.”

“For us, [HireVue’s] texting solution was an invaluable resource and vital lifeline to our employees during a challenging, extended shut down period. Every message sent out would get hundreds of ‘thank you’s.’ I’m looking forward to sending the ‘we are open’ message.”

“Using Sonru has definitely helped push Lendlease’s image into more of an innovative type company. We have recruited graduates in the past and used the same process time after time. Since having used Sonru, we’ve been able to highlight to the candidates that we are moving with the industry, that we are adapting to new technology.”

“Perisher brings in some 600 new staff as part of its 1300 seasonal workforce each year, with candidates for these roles coming from all over Australia and internationally. We needed a system able to accommodate the varying times that candidates were available to interview and when managers could review them.”

“It Sonru really makes Tiger Brands appear to be innovative. Not many companies in South Africa are using this tool so we’re viewed in the market as a technologically advanced company which we think is really important.”

"One of the biggest benefits that the business saw was around reducing unconscious bias. HireVue has helped reduce bias by 90% from the hiring process, which has contributed to achieving a 50 / 50 hiring split for gender across all levels of the business so far in 2021. Previously, this was 70 / 30 and male dominated. The Executive Committee is now also very diverse with a 50 / 50 gender split. This really helps other people in the business aspire to be what they can see.”

“Since going live with HireVue in June 2020 across our business, our average time-to-hire has reduced from over 40 days to 23 days. This achievement is even more impressive given we filled double the number of roles than the previous year. Without HireVue as a platform we simply would not have been able to handle the role volume that we experienced after Covid. The reduction in our time-to-hire has allowed us to remain competitive in a very tight job market. We have also seen a large reduction in the time that the Talent Acquisition team spends screening candidates. With the use of HireVue we have been able to create an almost 60% reduction in the time spent screening candidates across Sales and Corporate roles, whilst maintaining a strong candidate satisfaction score throughout the process.”

“I love HireVue as it allows us to get a sense of the candidates before inviting them along to an interview. We can easily gain an indication of their experience and how they respond to situations to determine if they’re a good fit for the role. It ensures that we only go to the interview stage for high quality candidates, making the interviews that we do have more meaningful.”

“The successful recruitment campaign meant that more than 5OO first-round interviews were required with Sonru’s video interview technology identified as the best way to shortlist candidates. This technology proved to be incredibly beneficial not only for our managers who could review the video interviews around their busy schedules, including via their phone but also for the candidates themselves.”

“Leading a team of nearly 50 people can be challenging in itself, add to the mix recruiting and you have quite the conundrum. What HireVue gives me is time back in my day which can be dedicated to potential candidates rather than sifting through all applicants unnecessarily.”

“Having such an agile recruitment process has meant we have a skilled and experienced talent pool to ensure we employ the best candidate for each position. The video interviews are accessible for two years, which allows our managers to revisit candidates for future recruitment opportunities.”

“Trying to filter through over 150 graduate applications can not only be time-consuming but extremely difficult to judge the quality of candidates without much experience. HireVue allowed me to ask all the candidates some simple video interview questions, assess them across a range of gamification activities, and gain assistance from the AI ranking system to determine who we would bring into our assessment centre. Without HireVue the process would have taken weeks to sort through rather than a few days and we were able to hire 8 incredible graduates.”

“Our hiring managers enjoy the flexibility of being able to view interviews around their work commitments and various rosters. They can log in from their mobile device or computer to review shortlisted candidates and add their comments. It also facilitates the same selection panel for the selection and appointment of a candidate."
