Challenge
To find top engineering talent, Apotex recruits graduates from colleges and universities around the world. In 2017, they wanted to expand their campus recruiting program, but first, they had to overcome two significant barriers:
1. Hours spent screening candidates prevented the company from growing it’s talent pool, and slowed overall time-to-hire.
2. Recruiters were not aligned with what hiring managers were looking for, which caused added stress and wasted time.
Solution
The recruiting team began using Wepow video interviewing for campus recruiting. From the start, Wepow helped streamline screening, reducing turnaround and promoting collaboration with hiring managers. Tasks that once took hours now took minutes, while increasing transparency throughout the process.
Seeing immediate results, including significant time savings, the team rolled out video interviewing across all their high-volume hiring initiatives.
I love Wepow so much. I have seen the value in it, and my hiring managers do too. It works well for everyone.

Results
Before Wepow, recruiters would spend 90 hours per position screening and forwarding candidates to hiring managers for review. Today, these activities take only 24 hours per position.
A 73% improvement in efficiency empowers Apotex to engage and retain top talent in a competitive market.
The recruiting team also credits Wepow with helping to improve the relationship between recruiters and hiring managers, which has helped improve quality of hire.
