Case Study: Sheridan College streamlines high-volume hiring and reduces bias with VidCruiter

Sheridan College pre-screens 40,000 applicants a year with VidCruiter

Sheridan College, a post-secondary institution in Ontario, faced a significant challenge in efficiently screening up to 40,000 annual applicants for hundreds of roles with a small talent acquisition team. The volume of applications, reaching 300 per posting, and the manual process of conducting hundreds of reference checks by phone were overwhelming. They needed a more effective way to manage this high volume while engaging a diverse applicant pool and promoting fairness. To address this, Sheridan turned to VidCruiter's pre-recorded video interview and automated reference check software.

VidCruiter's solution streamlined Sheridan's hiring by replacing telephone pre-screens with video interviews and automating reference checks. This saved the team thousands of hours, allowing recruiters to review candidates at their convenience and share them easily with hiring managers. The results included a more efficient process, a better candidate experience, and a stronger commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion by ensuring all applicants answer the same questions. VidCruiter helped Sheridan gain a better understanding of candidates early on and provided a strong return on investment.
