Case Study: EDF halves recruiter admin time with Willo

How EDF Fills 400+ Roles Per Recruiting Season

EDF, a UK energy provider, hires hundreds of graduates, apprentices, and industrial placement students each recruiting season, often fielding more than 17,000 applications. Their recruitment team needed a simpler, more cost-effective way to manage early careers screening while keeping the candidate experience strong, and their existing video interview platform was too complex and expensive for the value it delivered.

EDF switched to Willo’s video interviewing platform to replace the phone-screen stage and support collaboration across its in-house and outsourced recruiting teams. With Willo, EDF cut recruiter admin time by 50%, reduced screening from 30–40 minutes to under 20 minutes per candidate, and gave candidates the option to respond by video or audio for a more inclusive experience.
