Case Study: Sheridan College achieves faster, fairer hiring—pre-screening thousands of applicants and saving hours with VidCruiter

VidCruiter Helps Sheridan College Pre-Screen Thousands of Applicants

Sheridan College, a large Ontario post‑secondary institution with campuses in Oakville, Brampton, and Mississauga, faces high-volume hiring each year (200–400 full‑time hires plus hundreds of part‑time faculty) and often receives 300+ applications per posting. Their six‑person talent acquisition team was overwhelmed by time‑consuming phone screens and hundreds of reference checks, so they partnered with VidCruiter and adopted VidCruiter’s pre‑recorded video interviews and automated reference checking to handle scale while maintaining candidate engagement.

VidCruiter’s solution replaced many telephone pre‑screens with structured pre‑recorded interviews (with recruiter welcome videos) and automated references, enabling secure sharing of candidate profiles with hiring managers, faster review cycles, and built‑in fraud detection. The result: thousands of hours saved, quicker candidate communications, improved candidate experience and EDI consistency (“everyone is asked the same questions”), and measured scale handling ~40,000 applicants/year and 1,200+ references—delivering clear ROI and paving the way to add VidCruiter skills testing next.
