Case Study: Babylon Health achieves faster shortlisting and higher-quality doctor hires with Jobatar

Babylon Health are using Jobatar Video Interviewing to interview the best doctors

Babylon Health, a digital healthcare provider using the Babylon App to connect patients and doctors via video, faced a time‑consuming hiring process and a need to ensure doctors were tech‑savvy enough to consult remotely. Screening had required a 30‑minute phone call plus a 30‑minute Skype interview (about one hour per candidate), and the team screened roughly 10 candidates per week while maintaining a very high bar (only 1 in 100 doctors make it through). To solve this, Babylon adopted Jobatar’s one‑way video interviewing to pre‑screen candidates.

Jobatar’s one‑way interviews let candidates self‑select for technical aptitude and remove scheduling hassles, enabling Babylon to shortlist faster and protect doctors’ schedules. As a result, Babylon now selects the top candidates for two‑way interviews directly from Jobatar and reduced second‑round invites from 10 to 5, speeding screening throughput, improving quality of hire, and strengthening employer branding — a cost‑effective outcome credited to Jobatar.
