Hirevue

““the great thing about this is that every Non-EU applicant was doing a Sonru interview so it was standardized, it wouldn’t be fair to have some applicants doing face-to-face and others automated.””

““It’s a much better option than bringing students over or sending interviewers out as it enables us to use exactly the same process as the UK/ EU students.””

““It also allows us to reject in a less difficult environment, as in the student has not incurred the expense and time in traveling thousands of miles to sit our interview.””

““Sonru ideal for interviewing International applicants .””

““The date and time to view the interviews wasn’t set in stone, you could rearrange it with your Interview partner whereas if you missed the days of face-to-face interviews it would make the MMI scoring difficult, the process wouldn’t be effective as the Interviewers would not be uniform.””

““Sonru was better than face-to-face from a marker’s perspective, the ability to grade answers worked and was quite objective.””

““In some ways the Sonru version worked better, you don’t feel bad writing or making notes while the interviewee   was speaking.””

““We do a lot of analysis of our interview processes and are quite pleased with our assessments.We are confident the Multiple Mini interview has transferred onto the Sonru system. It suits us very well.””

““What was uniquely useful about Sonru was that it was a stress test in itself which is relevant for our admittance procedures. Dentistry is a stressful occupation so an applicant’s handling of the Sonru system may be indicative of how they might handle other stresses.””

““Sonru worked very well, we presented the scenario-based questions in written format and allocated each respondent with 4 minutes to answer the question.””

““The implementation of Hirevue has supported the speed of getting candidates into our c.1300 shops, which has been fantastic in filling gaps left by the somewhat transient nature of our workforce. The improved time to interview has played a pivotal role in this, and feedback from managers has been great with the speed of hire reducing the burdens placed on them. Moreover, the interactive and seamless nature of the Hirevue assessment has resulted in strong candidate feedback scores, which set a great first impression with our candidates before they join William Hill as employees.””

““Hirevue has empowered our TA teams to become strategic talent partners and helped build our relationships with the broader organization. We’ve seen metrics we’ve never seen before. For example, we scheduled 8 candidates, 8 showed up for interviews, and 7 received offers. That’s an unprecedented success rate.””

“A key priority for us is ‘designing for the disappointed’—finding a way to reject candidates respectfully while improving the overall hiring process.”

“Other tools didn’t understand what we needed. We needed tangible solutions that would address our problems, reduce unqualified applicant volume, and ultimately reduce turnover.”

““HireVue makes it easy for us to look beyond a 4.0 GPA and get to know the student and their story.””

“We recognized we needed to redesign our process in a way that would allow us to thoroughly assess candidates, improve the quality of our engagements with students, and double down on the rigor while increasing efficiency”

““Such an innovative use of the technology along with the RCA branding on the Sonru portal reflects not just our image but the values and innovative way of working here at RCA,””

““Scholarships have become increasingly important in higher education today which brings with it the challenge of securing donors. Being able to present a system of assessment which is innovative, sharp, and professionally presented reflects well on us and sets us apart from competing institutions.””

““Ultimately we wanted to enable students to demonstrate their knowledge, passion and potential. One particular applicant just wowed everyone with his sheer enthusiasm and passion, which came across much stronger on video than in the written submissions.””

““We     also wanted to make things simple and effective for the selection panel so as not to intrude on their time too much.””

““We needed to find a solution to connect a very geographically diverse shortlist of candidates to an external panel of seven sector experts in the arts world from all over the globe while allowing the RCA to retain control in the middle.””

““Certainly, the entire improvement can’t be solely credited to the video, but it’s a pivotal change we made by harnessing HireVue technology to enhance the candidate experience. We take pride in this adjustment, recognizing its impact on improving our hiring and business metrics. What’s remarkable is that it was a cost-free, time-efficient, technology-driven enhancement that any HireVue customer can adopt,””

“Using Modern Hire (now part of HireVue) has enabled us to increase the number of candidates evaluated for our roles so that we’re making better hiring decisions for our early, experiential and entry talent programs. And it also gives us more opportunity to evaluate culture fit as well as technical skills earlier in our evaluation process,”

“We’re now able to interview thousands and hire hundreds of students in the same timing it used to take us to hire 80 to 100. My team is the exact same size as it was four years ago. We would never have been able to hire this many people in this time frame without interviewing technology.”

““The word about Modern Hire (now part of HireVue) is spreading throughout the organization. I was recently approached by one of our directors, saying, ‘I’ve been hearing all about the Modern Hire (now part of HireVue) videos, you have to get me involved in that.’ We’re also finding that the candidates who use Modern Hire (now part of HireVue) tend to be more interested in the opportunity and more confident when they come in for their face to face interview. It really is a fabulous thing.””
