Case Study: ViaSat Optimizes Campus Recruiting and Candidate Experience with Avature

How Viasat Captivates Tomorrow’s Talent

Viasat, a growing global communications company with over 5,500 employees, wanted to improve campus recruiting and candidate experience as competition for high-potential university talent intensified. Before working with Avature, Viasat relied on manual event processes, long queues at career fairs, and time-consuming follow-up and interview feedback collection, which made it harder to engage students quickly and effectively.

With Avature’s integrated CRM, ATS, Events Solution, campus recruiting tools, and SMS campaigns, Viasat streamlined event check-ins, centralized interviewer feedback, enabled real-time scheduling, and sent personalized job links with pre-populated applications. The result was a faster, more candidate-friendly process that improved recruiter efficiency, increased visibility across the talent pipeline, and helped Viasat scale its university and intern program, which has grown by an average of 20% year over year for the past four years.
