Case Study: Canyons School District achieves worldwide teacher recruitment with VidCruiter

Canyons School District Attracts Worldwide Teaching Talent With Remote Recruitment

Canyons School District, a large public district in southeastern Salt Lake County serving 34,000 students across 42 schools, faced a nationwide teacher shortage and cumbersome, time-consuming hiring: recruiters were doing in-person interviews across the country, juggling late-evening local interviews, and relying on multiple disjointed software tools. To modernize and standardize hiring, Canyons adopted VidCruiter’s suite — including Pre-Recorded Video Interviews, Structured Digital Interviews, and Automated Reference Checking — to consolidate communication, ensure consistent evaluation, and make applying easier for candidates.

VidCruiter delivered a custom-branded online application with embedded welcome video, pre-recorded video screening, structured interviews with a shared rating rubric, and automated reference checks, allowing candidates to interview 24/7 and screeners to review on their schedule. The new process doubled the number of applicants screened, supported 200+ annual hires, produced 38% out-of-state hires, and shortened workflows with automated references and multi-year candidate pools — all with ongoing support from VidCruiter.
