Case Study: Medavie Blue Cross saves ~1,000 hours per year with VidCruiter automated reference checks

Medavie Blue Cross saves ~1,000 hours/year with VidCruiter

Medavie Blue Cross, a Canadian healthcare organization, faced a significant challenge in its recruitment process. The talent acquisition team, which hires approximately 600 people annually, found that manually conducting reference checks by phone was extremely time-consuming, taking 30-45 minutes per call and delaying hiring decisions. This slow process risked losing qualified candidates, and the references themselves were often less detailed. They needed a secure solution to expedite reference checking, especially critical for handling sensitive healthcare information and government contracts.

VidCruiter's automated reference checking software was implemented as the solution. The system automated the entire process, chasing references and completing checks within 24 hours. This allowed Medavie Blue Cross to make hiring decisions much faster, even hiring 10 people in a single day. The solution also provided more factual and comprehensive references and included anti-fraud measures. As a result, the team saved an estimated 1,000 hours per year, allowing them to focus on higher-value recruitment tasks, and the quality of hire improved due to the depth of information received.
