Case Study: Tanglin Trust School achieves faster interviews and better candidate selection with Hirevue

Tanglin Trust School - Customer Case Study

Tanglin Trust School, a long-established British international school in Singapore offering Nursery through Sixth Form with both IB and A Levels, faced a time-consuming and inefficient recruitment process for academic staff. Senior leaders frequently spent 45–60 minutes on Skype interviews with candidates who were quickly deemed unsuitable, and scheduling across time zones forced staff to interview outside working hours.

By introducing Modern Hire’s automated video interviewing (Sonru), Tanglin replaced lengthy Skype calls with short recorded interviews that candidates complete on their own time. The change cut interview time, removed scheduling conflicts, allowed 3–10 stakeholders to review responses, produced stronger shortlists, enabled more targeted face-to-face visits, and achieved a 93% completion rate — delivering cost, time and quality improvements with very positive feedback.
