Servier Saudi Arabia
Winning the Saudi talent war through digitalization of recruitment

The on-demand video to pre-screen more efficiently

Servier chose the EASYRECRUE Interview solution with the on-demand video interview, to roll out their new hiring campaigns. The tool is accessible to the HR manager, 1 sales representative, 6 district managers and the Operations Director GCC.

The EASYRECRUE Interview solution has greatly decreased Servier’s time-to-hire. It used to take them months to hire for a given position. Today, as they give candidates five days to record their interviews, the time to collect all interviews is usually maximum a month. As soon as the shortlisted candidates are invited to face-to-face (mostly remote) interviews, the process can take less than a week. The record is three days to hire someone. This now allows them to fully reach targets.

Servier is competing in Saudi Arabia’s talent war. The objective is to be the most attractive company to hire talent other pharmaceutical companies are also looking for. Integrating the on-demand video interview to their hiring process has helped improve the company’s employer branding by providing a seamless experience to their candidates. They plan to get more out of EASYRECRUE solutions for the near future and capitalize on the use of videos to communicate on their internal culture.

• Getting the entire company on-board and involved with the recruitment process

Ahmed Al Zahrani, HR Manager at Servier Saudi Arabia was pleased to receive positive feedback from both candidates and management. Candidates appreciate the new experience and managers benefit from the hiring of more qualitative profiles on their teams. Employees also enjoy a safe process, 100% remote, that fits health measures.

What’s next? Servier is thinking of other ways to use the on-demand video and in particular for their Talent development program: the pre-recorded interview can be a way to assess employees internally, map skills and build training plans.
