Case Study: Scottish Water achieves faster, lower-cost, and more inclusive recruitment with Hirevue

Scottish Water - Customer Case Study

Scottish Water ran its annual graduate and modern apprenticeship recruitment drive, handling roughly 750 applications. Facing a largely manual, email-and-mail process, the organisation needed a more efficient way to reach candidates across Scotland, reduce travel and administrative costs, and speed up pre-screening while improving equality and diversity in hiring.

By bringing recruitment in-house and adopting a video interviewing solution, Scottish Water expanded practical geographical coverage, cut production and travel expenses, and accelerated the screening timeline (candidates were typically given five days to complete interviews). Hiring managers gained instant access to candidates and flexible scheduling, candidates reported positive experiences, and the organisation has seen sustained cost savings and will continue using the approach for future hires.
