Case Study: TiVo achieves better candidate engagement and increased referral hiring with Jobvite

TiVo Reaches the Right Audience with Jobvite

TiVo, the pioneering maker of the DVR, wanted to attract visionary talent who fit its personable, innovative culture but found its legacy applicant tracking system too rigid. The company needed a recruiting platform that could deliver a differentiated candidate experience, improve recruiter–candidate communication, and support new sourcing strategies like social networks and employee referrals.

Jobvite let TiVo brand its career site and candidate communications, tap social and referral channels, and give hiring managers an intuitive workflow with real‑time reporting. The result: strong adoption across the company, streamlined hiring communications and processes, and referral hiring rising from 23% to 39% (2008–2010), enabling TiVo to recruit more efficiently and confidently.
