Nucleargraduates’ cuts recruitment administrative costs by 80% using @sonru video selection

March 14, 2012 - PRLog -- London, 14 March 2012. Sonru published a case study with client nucleargraduates demonstrating how video selection enabled nucleargraduates to reduce their administrative costs by 80% as well as maintain their recruitment in-house.

Carl Dawson, HR Business Partner, nucleargraduates commented in the case study “I don’t understand why everyone isn’t using Sonru but the longer that continues, the better for us as it gives us a competitive advantage in the war for graduate talent.”

nucleargraduates (established by the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency) is the sector wide graduate programme for the nuclear industry and currently has 60 graduates in direct engineering and scientific disciplines. Further sponsors of the programme now include Rolls-Royce, Sellafield Ltd., Magnox Ltd. and International Nuclear Services. 
Nucleargraduates’ team of just three recruiters received over 3000 applications for 45 graduate placements. They used Video selection powered by Sonru to automate the screening of 600 candidates.  

Case study highlights of nucleargraduates’ usage of Sonru include:
•   More Streamlined Recruitment Process:  Administrative costs reduced by 80% and enabled them to maintain the recruitment function in-house.
•   Eliminated the phone interview from their recruitment process.
•   Staffing: Previously would have needed team of 20 recruiters to conduct phone interviews. Sonru facilitated internal team of 3 to manage applicant screening.
•   Elimination of time wastage for no shows as scheduling not required.
•   Better Quality Candidates brought forward: Time saved in administration enabled nucleargraduates to reinvest time in “more valuable work” e.g. to see more candidates, and to give more intense one-to-one feedback to borderline applicants.
•   Flexibility: Sonru enabled nucleargraduates to build an interview pipeline and to allocate time to watch interviews in batches.

“We’re extremely happy with Sonru. When we looked at budgets for next year, the first thing we decided on was maintaining Sonru,” concludes Dawson.
