Case Study: Achievement First cuts 35% of interview scheduling time with VidCruiter

Achievement First cuts 35% of time spent scheduling each interview

Achievement First, a growing network of 41 charter schools serving over 15,000 students, faced a high-volume hiring challenge: 11 recruiters managing roughly 5,000 applications and relying on time-consuming phone screens and manual reference checks that made scheduling and consistent evaluation difficult. To address this, Achievement First partnered with VidCruiter and implemented VidCruiter’s Pre-Recorded Video Interviews and Automated Reference Checking.

VidCruiter’s solution—pre-recorded interviews with a structured rating system and automated reference checks integrated into Greenhouse—removed manual scheduling and phone screening, centralized candidate data, and standardized evaluations. The impact: Achievement First cut scheduling time by 35% (about 12 minutes per interview), automatically checked hundreds of references, supported 1,200+ pre-recorded interviews, and freed recruiters to focus on higher-value tasks while improving hiring consistency.
