@Sonru Launch White Paper on Client Experiences of Video Interviewing, Assessment and Selection

Ireland, U.K., Asia Pacific, 04 July 2012. Sonru, a multi award winning video interviewing technology company, today announced the release of a new white paper entitled, "Client Experiences of Video Interviewing, Assessment & Selection." The white paper presents findings from more than twenty in-depth interviews and an online survey of 100+ Sonru users from over 40 client companies with respect to their attitudes, usage and actual experience of automated video selection.

Fergal O'Byrne, Group CEO of Sonru, commenting on the white paper's publication, "This white paper demonstrates how Sonru has enabled our clients to gain a competitive advantage by finding that most critical and scarce resource: Talent."

Research Highlights

The initial drivers for using Sonru differed considerably to the actual benefits
derived.
• Almost half of the respondents (48%) cited some form of shortlisting,
screening or seeing the candidates as the key benefit to using Sonru's
automated video interviewing solution.
• Reduced time to hire featured prominently in both the perceived and actual
benefit questions with several respondents stating they had pre-screened
more candidates and simultaneously decreased the time to hire.
• Flexibility regarding viewing videos (36%) and accommodating different
time zones/locations (33%) were also recorded as gains to the recruitment
process.
• 70% of respondents felt using Sonru had helped them to 'bring better
candidates forward to the next stage of the recruitment process.'
• Over 90% satisfaction levels were recorded.
