Case Study: Chicanos Por La Causa accelerates offer-stage processing by 95% with VidCruiter

Chicanos Por La Causa accelerates offer-stage processing by 95%

Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) is a large community development nonprofit serving millions across the Southwest with nearly 900 staff. Facing a slow, manual offer-stage reference-check process that took up to 183 days in some states and caused high applicant ghosting, CPLC engaged VidCruiter to modernize hiring and ensure compliance across multiple regulated jurisdictions using VidCruiter’s reference checks (VidReference) solution.

VidCruiter automated reference collection with VidReference, replacing paper and phone calls, building customizable templates, and trimming reference forms by over 35% while maintaining compliance. As a result VidCruiter helped CPLC cut average offer-stage time from 183 days to 10 days, reduce time-to-fill by ~50%, lower Arizona time-to-hire from 136 to 37 days (a 99-day improvement), decrease applicant ghosting by about 80%, and increase applicant flow by 62%, enabling faster hiring and more hires within six months.
