Case Study: Holcim achieves 89% faster hiring and 9x more candidate assessments with Hirevue

Holcim Case Study

Holcim Group, a Swiss multinational and the world’s largest manufacturer of building materials (60,000 employees), faced a volume‑hiring challenge: close a specific industrial manufacturing skills gap, build a pipeline of proven talent based on competencies that predict success, and compare internal and external candidates while boosting internal mobility.

Holcim launched “Polaris” and partnered with Hirevue to combine AI‑scored video and games assessments, on‑demand and live interviews, realistic job previews, scheduling and text recruiting. A streamlined flow of screening questions → Polaris culture‑fit → job‑specific assessment made hiring fast, scalable and predictive. Results: 89% faster hiring, 9× more candidates assessed, 74% of recommended candidates externally verified, 60% greater geographical diversity, 60% of unsuitable candidates filtered out, and Hirevue‑recommended candidates progressing furthest; AI recommendations were validated against 350+ interviews.
