Case Study: CQFA achieves a 250-hour admissions time savings with VidCruiter

CQFA saves 250 hours in their 2021 admissions process

CQFA, a public pilot training school in Saint-Honoré, Quebec, faced an outdated, paper-based admissions process with more than 450 applicants competing for 40 spots, extensive travel for tests and interviews, and over 40 hours a week spent on paperwork. After a previous online platform failed, CQFA engaged VidCruiter for an online admissions solution, including pre-recorded and live video interviewing, online proctoring, and automated interview scheduling.

VidCruiter implemented those services in four weeks, enabling applicants to take proctored tests and upload documents remotely, use structured pre-recorded interviews for fair, repeatable evaluation, and schedule live interviews online. The shift cut paperwork and travel, saving CQFA 250 hours across the 2021 admissions process and more than 1,000 miles of applicant/interviewer travel, while freeing staff to focus on higher-value tasks and prompting exploration of additional VidCruiter tools.
