After just six months of using HireVue, The North West Company , one of North America's oldest retailers, reports that it reduced operating cost per hire 22 percent, reduced candidate processing time by 50 percent, increased candidate volume, improved the candidate experience, and more .
The North West Company operates 163 stores across its Canadian Sales and Operations division, many in remote and rural areas, making it difficult to find candidates who are willing to relocate and who would be a good fit in the local community. The company selected HireVue's On Demand Digital Interview Platform to help source, screen and recruit candidates across geographies and time zones, and build a pipeline of great talent. With HireVue, The North West Company recruiters email a link to candidates inviting them to complete an interview from their computer or mobile device -- anytime, anywhere. Recruiters and hiring managers then collaborate, rate and share candidates across teams, geographies, store locations and time zones without scheduling, phone tag or premature travel.
