“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Candidates enjoy the flexibility of being able to complete the interview in their own time. Many candidates are shift workers in healthcare, and attending an interview during our office hours may be difficult for them. Also, candidates in senior positions may have limited time during the day to complete a phone screening or attend first-round interviews.”
“HireVue has completely transformed our ability to move at pace and scale in a highly competitive market. With circa 250,000 applications through 60 recruiters – the bottleneck was palpable to get to 5,000 hires. We have been able to deliver candidate convenience, encourage self-scheduling and reduce review time by 35%.”
“Our conversion rate wasn’t very strong, and we had to run additional Assessment Centers. This means taking staff out of business for the day, which can impact our production, which in turn impacts our customers, all these knock-on effects. With Modern Hire, we have been able to reduce the number of candidates we meet thus reducing our hiring managers’ downtime from their operational work.”
“In some ways the Sonru version worked better, you don’t feel bad writing or making notes while the interviewee was speaking.”
“Sonru gives us the opportunity of sharing the interview experience with a wide range of relevant staff and even students.”
“Sonru was better than face-to-face from a marker’s perspective, the ability to grade answers worked and was quite objective.”
“[Data] suggests the application process is a positive experience for candidates and provides them with a greater understanding of the role.”
“This selection system has been held to the highest standards and required to show impact and results across many stakeholders and time periods. We plan to continue developing new items, algorithms, and methodology (including machine-learning techniques) to continually improve prediction while maintaining fairness and minimising applicant time.”
“In the past, we were lenient on screening, tried to make it as simple and smooth as possible, not make it too hard for candidates, then do phone interviews to dive in deeper. We don’t have that kind of time anymore. With three times as many applicants, our goal now is to have a great candidate experience but reduce candidate volume to where our recruiters can keep up.”
“To achieve our vision of making the financial lives of our customers better, we need to ensure we are selecting top talent into the organization. This assessment is essential in helping us identify the individuals who will perform successfully and provide exceptional customer service. The Universal Fit Pre-Hire Assessment ultimately allows us to improve the candidate experience, increase new hire retention and improve on-the-job performance.”
“Our end goal was to make sure that every candidate speaks highly of their experience with our organization – whether they receive a job offer or not.”
“We no longer base everything on the CVs. Automated Video Interviews give candidates the chance to better express themselves and that gives us a clearer picture as to who to engage for the next step. Flexibility was another bonus, being able to watch the interviews at our own pace.”
