Case Study: E. & J. Gallo Winery achieves 90% candidate interview self-schedule rate with Yello

E. & J. Gallo Winery uses a relationship-focused recruiting process to identify serious candidates ultimately, leading to a 90% candidate interview self-schedule rate

E. & J. Gallo Winery, the world’s largest privately held wine company, relied on a six-person campus recruiting team to source talent across about 60 universities while managing dozens of events and thousands of resumes. To scale relationship-focused recruiting and reduce administrative burden for campus outreach, they partnered with Yello and adopted Yello’s campus recruiting tools (including mobile check-in and the Hello App).

Yello delivered a unified platform for event management, automated invites/reminders, email/text touchpoints, interview self-scheduling and a mobile app for finalist conferences, enabling recruiters to evaluate candidates on the go and automate follow-up. As a result, E. & J. Gallo Winery achieved a more than 90% candidate interview self-schedule rate, ran 165 first-round interviews across 60 schools and reclaimed recruiter time through automation, letting the team focus on building stronger candidate relationships.
