Case Study: Twin Rivers Unified School District achieves 75% faster hiring and eliminates teacher vacancies with VidCruiter

How VidCruiter Helped One School District Transform Its Hiring Process

Twin Rivers Unified School District, a California public school system of 52 schools and about 4,000 employees, was struggling with a competitive teacher market and a lean, four-person recruitment team that typically hires 150–175 people a year. Faced with nationwide teacher shortages and dozens of openings to fill quickly, the District selected VidCruiter’s digital hiring platform—primarily its video interviewing and automated reference-checking tools—to modernize and speed up its paperless hiring process.

VidCruiter’s solution let the District use personalized video introductions, focused early interview questions, shared reviewer access, and automated reference requests, freeing recruiters to add texting and other outreach. The results were dramatic: average time-to-hire dropped from about 30 days to typically under a week (a 75% reduction), teacher vacancies fell from 58 to 0, principals’ hiring time went from a full day to roughly an hour, and the District expanded its candidate reach and improved retention.
