“With a very unique candidate lifecycle to manage, the customization aspect of VidCruiter was huge for us. The level of detail the team went into to first learn the specificities of our current state for recruiting and then the team’s use of that knowledge to co-develop the best possible future state; I really can’t dream of a better possible outcome.”

“The VidCruiter system itself is excellent, and is very intuitive. There is usually a solution to everything, and even if it’s not initially clear, the amazing VidCruiter support team work quickly and efficiently to provide a solution that seems simple to me as the user.”

“Collecting applicant data is the best part, once the job is setup in the system having them complete the online form makes it easy to see if they are suitable and where there could be potential issues that need to be covered. The helpdesk team are fantastic, so clear and quick to get back to me and I’m in Australia.”
