Case Study: Valard Construction scales hiring and strengthens candidate experience with Workable

How Workable Powered Valard Construction’s Scaling Journey

Valard Construction, a leading Canadian utility contractor, had outgrown spreadsheets and email as its hiring needs became more complex and high-volume. With a workforce that can range from about 1,100 to 2,000 employees and 200–250 annual hires, the company needed a scalable way to manage recruiting, improve candidate communication, and present a more professional employer brand. It turned to Workable’s Applicant Tracking System to support its growing, project-based hiring operation.

Workable implemented automated workflows, notifications, and a modern Career Page Builder to centralize recruiting, keep hiring teams aligned, and strengthen Valard Construction’s candidate experience. The result was better communication that eliminated candidate ghosting, a more polished careers site, and improved efficiency and visibility across talent acquisition. Over nearly a decade, Workable has helped Valard scale hiring smoothly while maintaining professionalism and responsiveness.
